Everyone's Money Book by Jane Bryant Quinn. Conversational in style and lucid in its ex planations, Quinn's book, a third shorter and at $14.95 almost 50% cheaper than Porter's, is also a lot more fun to read.

That anyone survived the first three games of this mostly cold and rainy Series was mildly remarkable. Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, long famous for sitting coatless through a heavy frost when prime-time television commitments are at stake, proved that he was equally up to the challenge in a mid-autumn monsoon.
