...Moskowitz (2,000 pp.; Shorewood; $160). The title is accurate, the selection intelligent, the reproduction good. There are 1,107 color plates. A brief introduction precedes each sheaf of drawings, which are grouped by nations. On price and weight (38 Ibs.), this set is the year's best snob value, but this need not deter nonsnobs; its artistic value is also high (see cut). The four volumes have the scope of a museum-though no museum exists in which so many master drawings can be seen on public display...
...Snob Appeal. The only likely impediment to Kotobukiya's steady growth is Japan's plan to reduce tariffs on a wide range of manufactured goods, including whisky, in the near future. Imported whiskies, which now command $11 a fifth in Japan, may then sell for as little as $6 -which, given the snob appeal that foreign products enjoy in Japan, will make them closely competitive with Suntory.

He refused to accept the sort of life which is so easy for a prep-school boy with a socially prominent name to fall into here, he was never a snob or a clubbie, and spent little of his time at his club (the Fly) or with a Groton clique...
...ordeal is far different from the one old grads remember. Everyone still looks up to the "jock" or man with a major "A." But these days the jock has to be a lot more-an actor, a proctor, a Merit scholar. The balanced hero is in. The snob is out. "A million kids are dying to get into Andover," says one lower-middler in a falsetto voice. "A guy who just mopes his way through, boy, that's almost...
