...comprehensive, pleasantly illustrated history of chess pieces. For those who like social history, Mirror of Fashion by Margarete Braun-Ronsdorf (McGraw-Hill; $26.50) is a copious survey of European costume from the French Revolution to 1929, while Leather Armchairs by Charles Graves (Coward-McCann; $7.95) is an anecdote-laden, fascinating-in-spite-of-itself account of all the major London clubs. What may well prove to be both the best-illustrated and best-written of the Kennedy memorial books is The Kennedy Years (Viking; $16.50), a massively complete compilation of photographs with equally compendious text by the New York Times...
...Manhattan society opening of 32 landscapes and still lifes by French Artist Bernard Buffet, 36. The gallery was filled with art inexperts. "Buffet paints a variety of styles!" remarked one black tie, eying some Picassos hanging near by. But Peter Duchin's band was playing, the buffets were laden with filet mignon and champagne, and even the upper-case Buffet felt decidedly a la mode.

Outside town, barefoot peasants pad along the dusty roads with $40 Sony transistor radios slung over their shoulders. "Prices are steep," admitted one merchant, "but that's what people are paying." New Experience. Prosperity is a new experience for Guatemala, which scraped along for years in the banana-republic image-without industry, unable to import what it wanted, or even pay for what it did buy. During the regime of cantankerous old Ydígoras, graft and inefficiency, those...
Long Authority. Khrushchev was furious, defended himself with a fulminating three-to-four-hour speech laden with curses and invective. Caught unprepared, he could not counter coolly, and may have hoped to carry the night on the strength of his lungs and his long authority. It did not work. Suslov listened quietly until Nikita ran down, then rose to his feet. "You see, Comrades," he said slowly. "It is impossible to talk to him." Khrushchev's face reddened to the point that some witnesses thought he would hit Suslov. But he contained himself while the Presidium voted...
