...Fidel Castro. The issue was whether Cuba could have acted to halt the Katangese rebel invasion of Zaire's Shaba region. In his congressional appearance, Vance blamed the press Is for "overblown" concern with the issue-even though it was the Administration, and especially Carter, that had done most to fan interest and alarm over Cuba's role. When he delivered his policy address to the Jaycees, Vance did not even mention the subject. Instead, he proposed increasing U.S. "consultations" with Agos-tinho Neto's Marxist Angolan government, and spoke of "working with it in more normal...

But when all but two of the national teams had limped off to apply diathermy and beer to their wounds, anyone not given to xenophobic sulking could agree that justice had been done.

Considering the competition, then, Jimmy Breslin and Dick Schaap have not committed any grievous sins in writing .44, a novelized account of Berkowitz's 14-month killing spree. But they haven't done much of a service, either: the book reads more like a dime-store cheapie than a presumably classy $10 hardback, and what goes between those hard covers is enough to make you yearn for the good old days, when the Papal Index kept the trash in the barrels and out of the bookstores.
