...revue, Ah! Qnelle Folie. It is the third most popular tourist attraction in France.* Spectators who return after many years note that the faces of the girls change, but the figures seem to stay the same. In Folies-Bergère (219 pp.; Button; $3.95), Paul Derval, director and titular head of the theater for almost 50 years, tells the naked truth in unadorned prose about Paris' most ancient music hall.

Northrop, Sterling professor of philosophy and law at Yale, noted for such provocative books as The Taming of the Nations, The Meeting of East and West; and Adlai Stevenson, titular head of the Democratic Party. The four volumes are being heavily advertised, have been widely reviewed and have caused quite a bit of chatter. They are indeed newsworthy, not because they are good, but because-for all the work that has gone into them-they...
