...capital, the cathedrals of a "culture of congestion" that finds its apogee in the 1,244 blocks of Manhattan Island. No glass slab could hope to be as rich in imagery as the work of an architect like Raymond Hood (chief architect of Rockefeller Center, designer of the old McGraw-Hill Building and the Chicago Tribune Tower). This point was not lost on Johnson. Fantasy veiled as history: such is the message of A T & T. In the process, Hood is appropriated to the recipe...
LINEBACKER--Eli captain Bill Crowley gets defensive player of the year honors, and Columbia gets its only first-teamer in there with Mike McGraw. Jim Molnar had over 100 tackles for Penn, but Penn keeps bogus tackling stats--Molnar will have to join Brown's John Woodring, Dartmouth's Joe Nastri, Princeton's Andy Hvidston and Cornell's Jim DeStefano on the second squad...
...intensify the bruising price war that is already roiling the New York City area, where an estimated one-third of U.S. hardcover books are sold. The discounters commonly cut prices 20% to 35% on bestsellers. The battle has already forced Laurel Book Center, a small chain, out of business.

Doubleday has refurbished and expanded its main Fifth Avenue store and is relying more and more on cut-rate leftovers-so-called remainders. Barnes & Noble's huge...
...Campbell, who would probably reside permanently in a padded locker room if he didn't have the Big Apple to play in after Lion losses, does have All-Ivy receiver Artie Pulsinelli and Fred Sullivan returning, but nobody to throw to them. He also has top-flight linebacker Mike McGraw back, but nobody to help him out. What he does have is a rather large number of rather large but inexperienced bodies to fill in both lines and assorted other positions. Speculation that grotesque Baker Bowl won't be painted for another 20 years doesn't help things much either...
...basic theme of her new collection, If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries - What Am I Doing in the Pits? (McGraw-Hill; $7.95), is surviving the daily bombardment of laundry, junk food and evidences of middle age. Bombeck herself has done it, as an Ohio mother of three and wife of a school principal. Now, with her children grown, she lives in a suburb of Phoenix. Bombeck has been called the female Art Buchwald. A better parallel might be Bill Mauldin, the author of World War IIs Willie and Joe cartoons. For at bottom, she views the housewife as society...
