...turned out, Fianna Fail captured 75 seats in the 144-seat Dail, or Parliament, three more than it had before. The equally conservative opposition party, Fine Gael, won 50 and Labor only 18. The result confirmed Lynch, a compromise choice for his party's leadership in 1966, as Taoiseach (chief of the clan) in his own right-and that the Irish are not yet ready for new departures...
Children's Books-Ages 7 to 14 GOODBYE, DOVE SQUARE, by Janet Mc-Neill (Little, Brown; $4.50); TROUBLE IN THE JUNGLE, by John Rowe Townsend (Lippincott; $3.75); THE LIVERPOOL CATS, by Sylvia Sherry (Lippincott; $3.95). Three fine books about domestic adventures-including murder-set in the slums of English cities. The writing is clear and fast paced, without ever talking down to the reader. Americans may be stumped by an occasional term-perhaps not by "tea" for supper, or "chips" for French fries, but certainly by "scuffers" for cops...
Protecting People. Much of the recorded conversation centered on the fine points of murder, and it was clear that, in the underworld, neatness counts.

...public areas are concerned, word was passed to the National Collection of the Fine Arts, which furnishes the West Wing's lobby and pressrooms, that the Nixons would prefer something not quite so abstract as the Tobeys and Youngermans featured there under Lady Bird's tenancy. Those particular paintings have consequently vanished, but their replacements are still works by contemporary Americans. The show that has been on during past months includes Wolf Kahn's diffused Yellow House (1967), Roy Moyer's semi-abstract Cypresses (1968), John Button's Hopperesque Lake Erie (1968), and an assortment...
...commissions at a $50,000 annual rate within six months after graduating from a training course, and veterans fairly commonly make $100,000. Haack generally advocates a new commission schedule under which efficient firms would continue to make large profits but inefficient ones might make none. The theory sounds fine, but he has not given details as to how the schedule would actually work. Brokers already speculate that any such system would drive some inefficient firms out of business or force them to merge...
