MARKINGS, by Dag Hammarskjold. Almost as if it were some kind of Security Council document, the late U.N. Secretary General described this strange and moving journal as "a white paper concerning my negotiations with God." Hardly that formal, the book portrays in aphorisms, essays, and even haikus Hammarskjold's mystical efforts to resolve agonizing religious doubts.

OF POETRY AND POWER, edited by Erwin G likes and Paul Schwaber. An anthology of poems—some elegiac, some angry—lamenting the death of John F. Kennedy. Certainly among the most valuable of the hundreds of volumes about the President.

THE BRIGADIER AND THE GOLF WIDOW, by John Cheever. In these short stories, the author keeps a tight grip on his own creatures of exurbia: the proletariat of vice presidents, the charming, irrelevant aristocracy, and the winning eccentrics, who compose a kind of swimming-pool society.
