Madigan, 59, is a press critic. Unlike his print-bound counterparts in other cities, he chastises the profession via the rather quaint medium of radio-for 2½ minutes five days a week over WBBM, the CBS-owned station for which he doubles as political editor. In addition, Madigan is closely tied to the still clanking municipal machine of the late Mayor Richard Daley, a rare alliance for a newsman in these post-Watergate days of pol bashing.

Reading is a pleasure; like eating or loving, it should not be rushed...
...chooses such work is Lee Lorenz, cartoon editor of The New Yorker. In Now Look What You've Done (Pantheon; unpaged; $7.95), Lorenz employs little of Saxon's architectural draftsmanship or Price's mirth-shaking slapstick. But in the right mood, he can quote anything out of context for hilarious effect.

The back of Santa Claus' sleigh bears the bumper stickers REGISTER COMMUNISTS, NOT FIREARMS...
