...Moss on the North Side (Houghton Mifflin) by Sylvia Wilkinson, 26, a green-eyed elf from the tobacco country of North Carolina, is a lyric evocation of childhood by one of the most talented Southern bellettrists to appear since Carson McCullers.

Moss forced many agencies to discard meaningless security precautions and marshaled bipartisan support for revision of the 1946 law that permits federal officials to clam...
