He is the author of How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years (Times Books; $8.95), a guide for survival in "the next recession, which will happen some time shortly after the publication of this book," as it states on page 15. Says Ruff, whose tremulous text has gone into its fourth printing and is in fourth place on TIME'S nonfiction bestseller list: "There is cynicism about Government and institutions and an immense searching for someone...
