...Negro extremism and the effect of permanent poverty, on the Negro's response to the compound problem of discrimination and unemployment. Two other omissions mar the book, the failure to adequately discuss the difference between the Puerto Rican's experience and that of earlier immigrant groups, and the neglect of the Catholic attitude toward birth control that limits the effectiveness of welfare programs...

The Wapshot Scandal (TIME, Jan. 24), the second of his two novels, is selling at a brisk 2,000 copies a week, and has already topped the total sales of his first novel, The Wapshot Chronicle-although the Chronicle won the National Book Award in 1958.

The rural aspects of the region, so long crushed by fumes and neglect, can once again exert their charm. And in many of the plants devoted to the new technology, the most notable sounds nowadays are made by slipping slide rules and scratching drawing pens. The Ruhr is still not a paradise, but it is no longer synonymous with purgatory...
