...Harold S. Geneen. Among the plumbers' unit's activities was spiriting Dita Beard, a lobbyist for International Telephone and Telegraph, away from reporters inquiring into ITT's contributions to Nixon's re-election campaign. The gifts were apparently intended to get an anti-trust suit dropped--as it later was, at Nixon's personal insistence. ITT's President Geneen should probably come to trial for bribery. But just as some of the alleged Watergate consirators should have been tried years ago for other matters--things like ordering illegal mass arrests of political dissenters, as John N.

These lucky types are the subject of Harold C. Schonberg's latest book, "Grandmasters of Chess." Schonberg, the top music critic for The New York Times, a patzer and Pulitzer Prize winner, has written "Grandmasters" for a general audience, including failed patzers. It is an immensely entertaining book, lavishly illustrated with photographs and drawings. Schonberg traces the history of grandmaster chess, beginning with Philidor...
