...helped wrest from the incumbent Democratic leadership in the House an agreement to allow all party members to sit in on monthly policy meetings, thus assuring that the voice of the activists will continue to be heard. Another concession to Udall's rebellion: committee appointments will henceforth be subject to approval by a caucus of all House Democrats instead of being dictated by a tight coterie of congressional elders.

Kurt Vonnegut has found a subject that will support any amount of black humor and white rage, fire-bombing of Dresden-which he lived through as a war prisoner. In Pictures of Fidelman, Bernard Malamud writes of an impoverished painter who outwits a gang of forgers who force him to turn out a new Titian. From Paris comes The Fruits of Winter, the new Prix Goncourt winner that was the occasion for enough scheming...
