...FOOLING OF KING ALEXANDER by Mervyn Skipper, illustrated by Gaynor Chapman (Atheneum; $4.50). A small Chinese boy saves his country by tricking the great conqueror Alexander. First published in 1930, the story is still good, the illustrations excellent...
Seamus Malin's never-beaten JV squad received a scare when Bill Phinney and John Metzger's first-quarter tallies were quickly equalled by Yale in the same period. But goalie Jay Breese blanked the Elis in the second half while Jim Chapman, Phinney, and Nick Hallett tallied for Harvard...

But the whole enterprise seems to suggest that a spy does not necessarily improve the more times he crosses his employers. A triple agent can be three times duller than a single...
