...March Toward the Great Society" and "Humble Origins of the People's Servant." Under the chapter head "Humility and Self-Criticism," there is a meaningful blank space. All told, Shepherd and Wren gathered about 300 quotations from Johnson-his folksiest and most fulsome. Simon & Schuster, which plans to publish the $2 booklet in March with a limp red plastic cover similar to Mao's, reports keen early bookstore interest. Some facets of Lyndonthink...
...Place de la Concorde-this was Lewis' brilliant idea-the only place in the world safe from being overheard. The treaty was mysteriously dropped through the letter slot at the Tribune, wrapped in a piece of Chinese silk (some say a kimono). It would have been treasonable to publish the treaty, but Hunt got Senator Borah to start reading it for the Congressional Record, and a minute later the presses started rolling...

The new Morris West is about the buildup of the Six Day War in Israel. Following the fashion of pointless pen names, Kingsley Amis calls himself Robert Markham as he takes over the James Bond industry with a suitably unlikely yarn about a convention of Iron Curtain bosses in Greece. Arthur Hailey seems to be starting a literary business too, by following...
