...GOODBYE, DOVE SQUARE, by Janet Mc-Neill (Little, Brown; $4.50); TROUBLE IN THE JUNGLE, by John Rowe Townsend (Lippincott; $3.75); THE LIVERPOOL CATS, by Sylvia Sherry (Lippincott; $3.95). Three fine books about domestic adventures-including murder-set in the slums of English cities. The writing is clear and fast paced, without ever talking down to the reader.

Things will get progressively worse if we continue to ignore Latin America. It is a very serious situation in terms of the future...
...WHOM TO LET IN. Public ownership of the exchange's member firms is the prospective change with the greatest long-range potential for reshaping the structure of Wall Street. The need is clear. Despite the rich commissions, member firms lack capital for long-term needs such as back-office automation, and several recently had trouble complying with an exchange rule that capital must equal at least 5% of debts. They must now rely on internal growth and borrowings...
