...piles and shelves of musty, dust-covered, unalphabetized books, and their romanticism goes wild. Visions of Bloomsbury circles and artistic Jamesian bookbinders flit through their minds. No doubt they imagine the booksellers themselves -- the tall, thin man with the distinguished-looking, white goatee, and the heavier-set, clean-shaven man with the ever-present pipe--as the central figures in a coterie of important literary Bostonians...
Victoria: even today the name conjures up a glacial and portly figure swathed in black mourning, the aged face set in its pale exophthalmic stare of hauteur as she proceeds (for monarchs do not walk) across some shaven lawn at Balmoral.

...than big names. While Oui goes its less than weighty way, Playboy is undergoing some subtle changes, becoming both sexier and more serious. Its new executive editor, up from the ranks, is Arthur Kretchmer, 31.

Cutting Costs. Further to the right stands William Lynch, 18, a self-proclaimed "progressive conservative," who defeated the 60-year-old school board chairman in Bremerton, Wash., in a primary held last September. Lynch, clean shaven and neatly barbered, picked up many adult votes in that race and also in the general election by promising to hold down school taxes, back up teachers on discipline, and use undercover agents in schools to help control drugs. He has stuck to at least one of those campaign promises: he voted against a proposal to give teachers a pay increase that would mean...
