OTHER TASTES, OTHER BOOKS: For modern architecture buffs, The Best in 20th Century Architecture (Reynal; $15) is an effective if somewhat slick presentation of a worldwide range of buildings and their creators. For players, kibitzers, or even for collectors who hardly know QR3 from KB7, Chess by Hans and Siegfried Wichmann. (Crown; $15) is a comprehensive, pleasantly illustrated history of chess pieces.

ANTHONY NEWLEY: IN MY SOLITUDE (RCA Victor). British Actor Anthony Newley has a rare knack: he sings about love without sounding either slick or lovesick. His diction is equal to his conviction, and he may well corner the more sophisticated heart market. Even tired songs (I See Your Face Before Me, For All We Know, The Party's Over) sound fresh...
...statement he made during this campaign." Taking his place among the South's Governors, Burns, 52, a six-term may or of Jacksonville, will almost certainly prove to be one of the most colorful.

I am fascinated by decadent faces." Baldwin's brief text is oddly irrelevant, obviously hasty, too often drawn...
...only Republican on Mississippi's congressional ballot scored the state's greatest political upset in memory: Prentiss Walker, a hard-shell poultry farmer, ousted William Arthur Winstead, who had been in the House for 22 years. In rural Georgia, Republican Howard ("Bo") Callaway, a slick-campaigning textile millionaire, topped former Lieutenant Governor Garland T. Byrd, who was hurt by Johnson even though he had refused to go even halfway for L.B.J. In Alabama's eight districts, the G.O.P. put up candidates in six, won five. The victors: W. Jack ("Thank God for Goldwater") Edwards, William L. Dickinson...
