Though a New York Times review called it "stupefyingly dull" and its narrator "dim-witted," scientists have other than literary objections to In His Image (Lippincott; $8.95). In the book, published as nonfiction, Author David Rorvik holds that a baby boy cloned from an eccentric aging millionaire (and thus his genetic duplicate) is alive and well. In Washington last week, before the House Subcommittee on Health and the Environment, top cloning experimenters talked candidly about the book. That was more than Rorvik did.

...much saucy style as the flapper it pictures, winking boldly at the audience. The garden of the millionaress, Jo Vanderwater, where most of the action takes place in Act One, is also a mite tacky for the palatial estate it is supposed to be. Moreover, the lighting is so dim that it is no wonder the chorus looks lost. Even the costumes (designed by Susie Kendall), which seem appropriately authentic for the time period, are not well coordinated and lack an attention-drawing sheen...
