...Club Cook Book scorns frippery and froufrou, sets forth many a plain but seasonable and spicy appetizer, many a hearty pièce de résistance. Like its author's conversation these recipes are blunt but pointed, dipped in the salty wit of good sense. Unusual among politicians. Dr. Browne says what he thinks; unique among cookbook authors, he gives many a flat decision on moot questions of food & drink.

Mr. Buchman and his assistants are accused of reducing their diagnoses of spiritual sufferings to bad sex habits. The weak-chinned element in schools and colleges, full of relief at finding so plain a focal point for their self-betterment ambitions or so simple a seeming...
...CALAMITY JANE AND THE LADY WILDCATS-Duncan Aikman-Henry Holt ($3). Ladies a la carte make up this racy repast served on a cloth flamboyantly patterned with genuine early day Westernism. Calamity Jane forms the pièce de resistance-"comfortable, jovial, uncomplaining, baudily at ease in her blowsy element," Calam' reels through 51 years of life with husky frontiersmen, bullwhackers, soldiers, miners, gathered from the far reaches of Virginia City, Deadwood Gulch, Cheyenne, the Black Hills-an untutored rebel against the codes, with the creed of "to hell with the consequences" to guide her in a life rumbling...
