...ALPHABET TREE, by Leo Lionni (Pantheon; $3.95), is tops on the list of picture books that teach as well as amuse. The letters, coached by a word bug and a purple caterpillar, cling to the tree and to one another to say "something important-peace...
...however, the incoming Republican Administration faces an unusual problem. Under pressure from Attorney General Ramsey Clark, the clerk of the House of Representatives, former Congressman Pat Jennings, a Democrat, has taken the unprecedented and even-by sedate congressional standards -slightly ungentlemanly step of turning over to the FBI a list of organizations that had been delinquent in filing their accounts.

Later he acquired two old Halifax bombers, won some contracts to haul freight during the Berlin blockade, and went on to build an airline. Bamberg became a sterling millionaire. He played polo with Prince Philip at Windsor Great Park, traveled between country manor and luxury London flat in a chauffeured Rolls fitted with telephone, dictating machine and the license plate "H.B. 100."
