...quiet, tree-lined town of Gilmanton, N.H. enjoyed a fleeting notoriety when Townswoman Grace Metalious renamed it Peyton Place. Behind Gilmanton's doors, Novelist Metalious found fictional murderers, abortionists and deviates. But somehow she overlooked Richard Pavlick, 73, a slight, white-haired postal clerk and onetime mental patient, whose only aberration seemed to be writing angry letters to newspapers and to public figures. One day last month Richard Pavlick decided to do something worthy of inclusion in Peyton Place: he made up his mind to kill a President-elect...
...Traffic Control to circle Preston, and his acknowledgment was the last contact Idlewild ever got. Since the planes collided in a spot on the Connie's path-a good ten miles or so north of the jet's allotted position-it seemed likely that the jet had somehow flown beyond its orbiting area into the La Guardia approach.

Forgivably enough, he fumbles a number of Milne's choicer puns ("ambush" as a bush, "issue" as a sneeze), and the great gag about Piglet's grandfather. Trespassers W. somehow just lies there in Latin. Furthermore, panistostatus cum butyro, though verbally correct, makes no sense at all in the Roman context as a translation of "buttered toast." According to Dr. Frederick L. Santee, a leading U.S. Latinist, the Romans had no toast and no word for it, and though they...
...KREMLIN, by David Douglas Duncan. Somehow Photographer Duncan persuaded Nikita Khrushchev into allowing him to photograph the art treasures of the czars that are still preserved in the Kremlin. The result: a stunning book...
