...Salund elementary school in McLeod (pop. 50), N. Dak., Teacher Janice Herbranson, 51, has served breakfast to her three pupils. After morning lessons, she will cook lunch. At day's end, if the parents are away, she may take one of her charges home with her to spend the night. At the Lennep school near Montana's Crazy Mountains, Second-Grader Lee Cavender, 7, barges in to say that his sisters, twins who constitute the entire seventh grade, will be absent today. They turned 13 over the weekend, old enough for deer-hunting licenses, and, of course, their father...

The Temptation of Wilfred Malachey (Workman, $10.95) is a morality tale for children from eight to 13, in which a demonical IBM 4341 mainframe teaches a New England prep-school student that computing can be more profitable than petty theft. Says Buckley, referring obliquely...
...Buchwald is the nation's most popular political humorist because he is not too funny. Readers of his syndicated columns never have to worry about the embarrassment of laughing out loud in packed trains or at crowded lunch counters. In addition, Buchwald's wit is a comfort, not a goad. He is like a town crier assuring the citizenry of the status quo: the sheep are still in the toxic meadow, the cows in the surplus corn, the politicians reliably hypocritical and venal...
