...moderate who fled to the waiting embrace of the Democrats in 1973 is Michigan Congressman Donald Riegle. He felt that his faction of the party no longer had any influence. "We were like the tail of the dog; we couldn't wag the dog." A Republican pondering whether to follow Riegle's example is Maryland's Charles Mathias (see box). Another moderate, Manhattan Lawyer Rita Hauser, former U.S. representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, complains: "We are viewed by the right wing as if we were lepers.

...able to compress his body enough to get through a tight spot, now officially labeled the Tight Spot. The most effective member of the connection party was a small (115 lbS.), wiry woman named Pat Crowther.

Ballantine Books has reprinted in paperback 100,000 copies each of so-so Sabatini (The Black Swan, Captain Blood Returns, Mistress Wilding). Three examples of super-Sabatini (The Sea Hawk, Scaramouche, Bellarion) are to follow. Quickly, one hopes. At his worst Sabatini is a hypnotic yarn spinner. At his best he is a semiserious novelist who, like Dumas père, uses melodrama as a billboard to lure the casual pleasure seeker into a performance more moving and intelligent than he expects...
