...Glimpses of the Moon by Edmund Crispin (Walker; 287 pages; $8.95). In one of Crispin's earlier books, a mystery novelist confides: "Our plots are necessarily improbable, but I believe in making sure that they are not impossible." With Glimpses, his first detective story in a quarter-century, Crispin re-establishes his own flair for turning the unlikely into the inevitable.

Saudi Arabia "hurtles into the jet age," but we could carry them much farther. Over the past four years I have urged NASA to put an Arab on the moon (and bring him or her back). The Saudis can easily finance another Apollo mission, NASA could get more scientific data on and from the moon, and our aerospace industry could be rejuvenated by a few billion petrodollars...
