...lesser hands, it might have been called gimmick literature. But there is a high purpose behind Look! Look! Look! (Greenwillow; $12.95). Regularly, a small window is cut out of a page. Peering through it, readers may see the crown on the Statue of Liberty, or the side of a briefcase or a mysterious red eye. The pages that follow reveal the whole photograph and provide some astonishments. The eye turns out to be rose petals. The briefcase is an elephant's tail. The crown is the center of a carousel wheel. Tana Hoban's pictures tell a double story...

Sometime before, a dispute among three teenage girls in Miami over a vandalized Cadillac erupted into gunfire and a 15-year-old girl was mortally wounded by a shot from a .9-mm automatic. In Houston last month, a Colombian man and woman were shot execution-style in their...

(When a Bush aide later read him a Haig quote saying "I did all the damage I could," Bush stared out a window and muttered, "That's sick.") That Saturday morning, Atwater told Bush he was dead even in the polls and that only the "Straddle" ad would put him over the top. Bush looked over at pollster Bob Teeter and said, "I thought you said I was 5 or 6 up!" Teeter shrugged. New Hampshire Governor John Sununu...
