...Stanislav Andreski is no believer in what he calls "the principle that dog does not eat dog," the unwritten code that keeps members of the same profession from attacking each other in public even if attack is justified. A professor of sociology at England's Reading University, Andreski has just written a new book that is certain to enrage his colleagues. In Social Sciences as Sorcery (Andre Deutsch; London; ?2.95), he accuses the world's rapidly increasing population of social scientists of writing more and more about less and less.

An acrobatic skater and a slick stickhandler who plays on what Chicago Coach Billy Reay calls his "Scooter Line," Mikita was the league's No. 1 scorer (based on goals and assists) for two seasons running before losing the title last year to his teammate Hull. Mikita should have no trouble winning it back this year. Against the Detroit Red Wings last week...
