...army. Beggars on Horseback, by James Mossman, is a grisly, giggly satire about a mythical Middle Eastern kingdom where the British muddle through until they fizzle out. Trust, by Cynthia Ozick, is a massive (568 pages) and almost continuously impressive attempt to reconstruct the near-religious experience of Marxism cum Utopianism that gripped American Jewry in the depressed and troubled '30s. Moss on the North Side, by Sylvia Wilkinson, is a poetic apperception of childhood elaborated by one of the most gifted women writers to emerge in the South since Carson McCullers...
...speedup that was overtaking Tahoe, and which imperils many another U.S. lake of natural beauty, is the population-cum-recreation explosion. In 1956, Tahoe was a drowsy summer paradise of about 3,000 residents; by 1965, it was a turbulent tourist mecca of gaudy gambling casinos, glaring neon bar strips, and other commercialized enticements playing to camping-room-only crowds. Now with just under 6,000,000 visitors annually, even the foresight that led the South Tahoe Public Utilities District to build and thrice expand its sewage disposal plant from 1958 on has proved woefully inadequate; the plant, with...
...other sections (he was responsible for the recent Essay on the state of the modern theater). His career has been varied and productive. He was born in Maiden, Mass., of Greek parents from Asia Minor, and his first language was Greek. He majored in sociology at Harvard ('42, cum laude) and planned to go to Harvard Law School, but World War II interfered.

For the next two years, he wrote a weekly stock-market letter...
Despite a wheezy plot that must be older than Gary Grant, Walk, Don't Run has the ageless advantage of Grant himself, a galloping 62 and perfectly cast as the anything-but-tired tycoon. A sort of magnate cum laude, Grant herein relinquishes his customary Romeo role to play Eros by proxy, and no man could play it better. Instead of making passes at his luscious roommate, Samantha Eggar, he sublets half of his half of her apartment to a lanky Olympic race-walker (Jim Mutton) and starts showing the younger generation how one thing can lead to another...
Academically, a perfect 4.0 is about as rare in colleges as a .400 batting average is in pro baseball. Nonetheless, Daisy's achievement was matched by other summa cum laudes at major universities in the class of '66. Bruce A. Wooley, a University of California electronics engineering student, racked up three years of 4.0 at Berkeley after an unblemished year at the University of Arizona. Thomas J. Messenger had perfect marks as a physical chemistry major at the University of Michigan. Air Force Veteran George Chartier, a 30-year-old psychology major, completed straight-A work...
