Readers may be surprised to see that this week's BOOKS section contains 70 capsule reviews instead of the usual full-length critiques. The idea was born one day recently when Senior Editor Tim Foote and BOOKS Reviewer George Dickerson were examining the enormous fall list. "Let's do them all," said George, jokingly. "All right, let's," replied Foote, and assigned himself 16 books. Dickerson got 13 and Reviewer Ron Sheppard wound up with twelve; the rest were spread out among 18 other staffers. "There are so many books in the fall," says Foote. "And they...
...Michigan Daily's attitude toward the story is interesting. The paper introduced the article by saying, "Mr. LaBour says it's all true." But editorial page editor Steve J.

...other pieces are the sort of wandering, derivative personal statements that fill up most underground newspapers, Brian Keating's "Cancer City" is about why he can't leave New York. One can only conclude the editor included it and put it in its prominent page six position to suggest that there is not even a Correct Line on your attitude to New York City. Jon Maslow's "Dylan Piece," a reprint from Avatar, tells us how great Dylan is, partly in Dylan's own words. Maslow also contributes "The Tower," an allegorical story about a tower which the people build...
