...young Ben, Beau Bridges (son of Actor Lloyd Bridges) plays the hero with the numbstruck charm of a tarnished cherub. Ben believes totally in America's favorite myth: the up-from-nothing success story. So believing, he becomes living proof of that other American truism: there's a sucker born every minute. Ben runs away to Chicago, sin city, carnival to a million peculators in wheat, meat and railways. Pickpockets, exposure and starvation nearly do him in until the boy comes under the wing of a municipal madam named Queen Lil (Melina Mercouri). Lil's most valued...

A hood covered Sebring's head, but the two appeared to have been stabbed or shot, not hanged. "It seemed kind of ritualistic," said one of the officers investigating the case...
...GARDEN GROWS, by Peter Spier (Doubleday; $3.95). A collection of nursery rhymes and riddles record the not so imaginary Italian journey of two children. Spier did the illustrations on location mainly in and around Florence. His delicate pen-and-ink scenes overlayed with soft colors show off with rare beau ty everything from the drab yard of a Florentine suburb to a towering 14th century villa...
