...University of Virginia. Eventually, says his agent David Obst (who also set up a $1 million take for Woodward and Bernstein), "Dean stands to make as much as Woodward and Bernstein each made from All the President's Men, which is now the hottest paperback in the country." While Nixon and others whose downfall he encompassed have not nearly such rosy prospects, Dean, 36, was looking forward to years of gilt-edged living as he and Mo jetted for a Caribbean vacation...
...brought little change. Corruption is still ubiquitous-but so, happily, is the editorial cartoon, grinning out from banks of gray prose. In about 16 square inches, that journalistic institution still manages to encapsulate crises, expose pretensions and eviscerate swollen egos-all with a few well-drawn strokes.

Atlantic-Little, Brown. Paperback $1.95 each. No one should be put off by Tintin himself, a boy in knickers with a muffin face and a tuft of hair rising to a curled peak like a Hokusai wave. Or by Captain Haddock, his bearded rum-sodden sidekick. Or by the small white dog, known as Milou in the original French versions of these stories, but for some...
