...DREAM WATCHER by Barbara Wersba (Atheneum, $3.95). Albert is a misfit-he reads Thoreau, enjoys gardening, and is always worried about his "crummy soul." As a mini-Holden Caulfield he is as real...
...consummate politician if he is to get anything but misery from the 91st. Wisconsin's Melvin Laird, chairman of the House Republican Conference, concedes that the next President "will have to be the greatest salesman of the century" to get his programs across. While the real test of his powers of persuasion will not come for months, Nixon's moves so far have been calculated to make the best of a very tough situation...

"After a year at Berkeley," he explained, "I think the university is a green zone of escape, not a real place in a real world.

An investigation by the FBI followed, and last week five players in the games (two real estate developers, an art collector, an investor and a professional card shark) were found guilty on 49 counts of conspiracy, face sentences of from five to 130 years. Their gimmick: to station a confederate at a ceiling peephole in the Friars' card rooms; the "peeper" would then transmit electronic signals about opponents...
