...field or temple? Habitat or home? The West these days could use a few more translators and a few less bureaucrats and lawyers. On a recent trip to the Valley of the Chiefs (a.k.a. Federal Lease MTM-74615), Howard Boggess witnessed proof that demonstrated how people of different backgrounds can come together for a greater good. "As I walked, I wondered, How long had it been since a Blackfeet, a Crow and a Comanche had walked this valley together and prayed together and had food?"

...Whatever happened to Anne Welles?" asks Rae Lawrence in the opening line of Shadow of the Dolls (Crown; 320 pages; $22), a sequel to Valley of the Dolls, Jacqueline Susann's classic 1966 paean to babes, booze and barbiturates. Susann had her own ideas about the fate of Anne, the well-bred supermodel, and her buddy Neely O'Hara, the libidinous, scheming singer. She wrote a plot outline before she died in 1974, and it is partly from this that romance author Lawrence has drawn the new novel...
