...sending special anti-Mob "strike forces" into major cities, more money is being spent by police forces, and more men are being thrown into the battle. Hollywood makes movies about it (The Brotherhood), and readers have put it on the top of the bestseller list (Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather and Peter Maas's The Valachi Papers). Organized crime is no longer quite the mystery that it was. It is a vast, sprawling underground domain impossible to trace fully; but there is no longer any doubt that its most important part, its very nucleus, is La Cosa Nostra...

...theme at the Second International Conference of Social Psychiatry in London was "The Sick Society," and double Nobel Prizewinner (Chemistry and Peace) Linus Pauling offered a novel cure for mankind's various ills. The world would be a better place, he said, if among other things, people could just get enough vitamin C. An optimal intake of the vitamin could mean a 10% improvement in physical and mental health. "What would be the consequences for the world," Pauling asked, "if the national leaders and the people as a whole were to think just 10% more clearly...

Buckley quotes an excerpt from Vidal's novel, Myra Breckinridge, describing in detail the "splendor" of the male buttocks, claims that Myra "sees all life as a naming of parts, an equating of groins, a pleasing and/or painful forcing of orifices-the essence of pornography."

...well, that's Catherine Deneuve for you. At least that's the Deneuve of late, for while La Chamade is based on a Françoise Sagan novel, it somewhat resembles Belle de Jour and, to a lesser extent, The April Fools. But it lacks the surrealistic pathology of Belle and the slick American romance of Fools. Its milieu, instead, is the typical Sagan domain of croquet on Parisian lawns and seaside Scrabble on the Cote d'Azur, of cliquishness and banal cleverness ("I'm wearing black because it's so gay"), of highly polished...

...virtually silent on Joyce; he has nothing to say to the audience of Susan Sontag, which is most unlikely to admire Robert Louis Stevenson, a Greene favorite. For him the old standbys: James' The Spoils of Poynton and Conrad's Victory are "two of the great English novels of the last fifty years." James is "as solitary in the history of the novel as Shakespeare in the history of poetry." It is not the brilliant surface and subtlety of James that attracts Greene, of course, but the underlying anguish, the "hidden books" behind...
