There is even an ingenious array of glass tubes that waters indoor plants while a householder is away: Such an exhibit would have...
BOOKS I LOVE by John Kieran. 200 pages. Doubleday. $4.95. Playing the old "books I would take to a desert is land" game, the author provides fond essays on his largely predictable choices, and an occasional sharp judgment (Rousseau is "an intellectual sharper").
