    Advise and Consent, by Allen Drury. The novel is overlong (616 pages), and the prose something less than sparkling; but New York Timesman Drury knows his way about Washington. Few readers will need any help finding the fact behind the fiction.

    The Frozen Revolution, by Frank Gibney. An expert reading of Poland's cliff-hanging predicament, halfway between subjugation and freedom.

    The Satyricon of Petronius, translated by William Arrowsmith. A skilled classicist provides the best English version yet of the Priapean satire by Nero's arbiter of elegance.

    Richard Nixon, by Ear! Mazo. A fascinating biography, flattering but far from a campaign puff piece.
