HOUSE ON FIRE by Arch Oboler. 249 pages. 8arfholomew. $5.95. A radio and film veteran, the author has produced a nasty little hybrid-part melodrama about two juvenile murderers, part philosophical twaddle about whether God is dead, blind or just out to lunch...
Wall Street, and much of the American business community, favors what Economist Paul A. Samuelson calls a "dovish-bullish syndrome"-which conjures up visions of a hybrid creature with wings, hooves and horns. Recent history shows that peace pays. World War II and Korea were followed not by the depressions that had been predicted, but only by mild recessions that were soon erased by new bursts of prosperity.

Indeed, at 30, Campbell is the most polished and successful of a whole breed of hybrid stylists-call them hip hicks or country slickers-who have invaded the pop bestseller charts in the past few years. Such others as Roger Miller, John Hartford and Jerry Jeff Walker have also flourished there. Campbell's own record sales soared to $6,000,000 last year, with three...
