...Feet Deep. Jonathan's history is already notorious as an almost cinematic cliché: how the infant Jonathan came to Aviation Writer Richard Bach in a kind of dream vision; how Jonathan was foolishly rejected by a flock of famous publishers (including Harper & Row, Random House and Morrow); how the book was finally, faintheartedly launched by Macmillan with no advertising budget and almost no reviews (Publishers' Weekly, hardly the most demanding medium in the world, called it "ickypoo"). How Jonathan rose slowly on its own merits or demerits, over 18 months, finding an audience?at first mainly youthful denizens...
...Only 14 months ago, James W. Brady took his reputation for brass and innovation from Women's Wear Daily to Harper's Bazaar. He soon won the titles of publisher and editorial director and set out to shake the frilly fashion monthly to its lingerie. Brady replaced conventional models with recognizable people posing against busy street backgrounds to show how fashions would look outside the salon.

Miss Decter, a Harper's editor under Willie Morris, and in private life the wife of Commentary Editor Norman Podhoretz, has chosen this perilous moment to announce, among other unspeakable things, that "every woman wants to marry."

Recently published as Dear Israelis, Dear Arabs (Harper & Row; $6.95), the letters make many specific proposals, for example, that Israel make a sample withdrawal in part of the Sinai to demonstrate how general rapprochement might work. Fisher's undertakings have caused his name to crop up so often in cable traffic that the U.S. State Department once...
Mickey Lolich was in trouble. Tommy Harper and Little Luis danced off base as he threw a curve that hung over the dish for the reborn Carl Yastrzemski. Yaz placed the ball over the dish for the outstretched arm of Mickey Stanley in the cavernous Detroit center field. Harper crossed the plate with the tying run as Yaz steamed into third base. But the coordination of Aparicio had deserted him in this one crucial moment. Little Luis fell down, crawled back to third base with the go-ahead run, to greet the ecstatic, then horrified, yastrzemski. The pennant...
