Senator Joe McCarthy, by Richard Rovere. A well-balanced account of the man whom Reporter Rovere regards as the Dead End Kid of U.S. politics.

Richard Nixon, by Earl Mazo. An expert biography, flattering but far from a campaign puff-piece.

The Maxims of La Rochefoucauld, translated by Louis Kronenberger. The power of negative thinking, as demonstrated by the sharp-tongued 17th century courtier, soldier and cynic.
