...book uses the vehicle of "the court-room drama"-which is always gripping in a Perry Mason versus D. A. way. Miss Mitford uses it only for its natural excitement and writes an impassioned, sympathetic and very original view of both the strange ways of jurisprudence and the anti-war stance of the defendants. This makes for enjoyable and uplifting reading. The Ghandian stance of kindly Dr. Spock-who is in a very real sense the father of us all-is rare in America.

That leaves reporters with Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler, 30, whose approach to disseminating information is as conservative as Barry Goldwater's politics.

He was replaced with a hand-picked party official the following year...
Rejection Slip at 15. Daughter of a tool and die designer, she grew up outside of Lockport, a small city in western New York State. In a one-room schoolhouse, Joyce Carol's writer's reflex quickly asserted itself. She cannot recall a time when she was not setting down or thinking about a story. Her first submitted novel -250 pages devoted to a dope addict redeemed by getting a black stallion-was rejected by a New York publisher as too depressing for the 15-year-old market. Joyce Carol quietly accepted the verdict, though...
