HAROLD NICOLSON: THE WAR YEARS, 1939-1945, VOL. II OF DIARIES AND LETTERS, edited by Nigel Nicolson. Author-Politician Nicolson's gossipy jottings not only give a crisp and sharp picture of embattled Britain but also establish him as a brilliant Boswell to his age and peers...
...Justice Department has proposed voluntary guidelines modeled on a system used in Omaha. At the outbreak of a riot, police relay a "Code 30" to newsmen; they, in turn, hold up riot bulletins for 30 minutes-usually enough time for lawmen to establish control. During the news gap, police provide at least as much information on the riot as newsmen could gather in so short a time. The Justice Department has also asked for less inflammatory language in riot coverage and greater care in substantiating the facts...
...Theonomous" Controller. Pannenberg's own theories have inevitably come in for attack-and not only from the Bultmannites.

It avoids taxing the mind or the arches with museums, historical monuments and other cultural shrines. Instead, there is selective advice on how to establish oneself as a temporary Londoner: what newspapers and magazines to buy, which names to drop, when to be at which pubs or discotheques, and how to attack in the ticket-buying, reservation-cadging, club-crashing wars. The author, a TIME contributing editor who also wrote the April 15, 1966, cover story on swinging London, organizes...
