Light blue boards with silver spine lettering the Arlington logo on the spine and front also in silver. Tight square book with no marks or stamps. Forewords by Senator Barry Goldwater and Representative John J. Rhodes. In this fascinating book, painstakingly researched, attorney Denison Kitchel explores the whole question. The Canal issue is complex. Mr. Kitchel clears it all up, generating light where we have had mostly heat. With scrupulous fairness he traces the history of American involvement, the building of the Canal, and the diplomatic and political developments that brought us where we are today-including, of course, the full story of the original 1903 treaty. The author then evaluates the legal, defense, foreign policy, and economic issues. Can we afford to loosen our control? Can we afford not to? Would turning the Canal over to Panama mean a giveaway to the Communists? What would the end of U.S. control mean for our economy? For our -national defense? Are the Panamanians capable of operating the Canal? Would the Canal remain neutral after the U.S. pulled out? Can we trust Panamanian leftist Torrijos-and those who are likely to succeed him? Can we protect our interests in the Isthmus without undermining our relations throughout Latin America?

Mencken wrote to a friend that "as I look back over a misspent life, I find myself more and more convinced that I had more fun doing news reporting than in any other enterprise. It is really the life of kings." With Mencken, newspapering was a lifelong love affair. He was a giant on the Baltimore Sun for more than 40 years, and he had edited another Baltimore paper before joining the Sun. Over the years he held down almost every editorial and reporting job in the business. He was a confidant of publishers. When he died in 1956, the Sun's obituary identified him as "newspaper man, critic, wit and Baltimore's best-known writer." Now Theo Lippman brings together just about everything Mencken ever wrote on the Fourth Estate. Only on piece has appeared in a book before. The pages bristle. Mencken spared no one, least of all his colleagues -- as Franklin Roosevelt was shrewd enough to understand. FDR, as part of his running skirmish with the press, roasted them mercilessly at the 1834 Gridiron Club dinner. Only toward the end of his speech did he reveal that he was quoting from Mencken -- at that time FDR's severest critic. Mr. Lippman contributes a lively profile of Mencken as newsman, with emphasis on the Tennessee Monkey Trial and his irreverent forays into presidential politics. Following in his hero's footsteps, Mr. Lippman is now an editorial writer with the Baltimore Sun. He is the author of Spiro Agnew's America and co-author of Muskie.

Dr. Fanning graduated from University of Illinois, received his Master's from Long Island University, and his Ph.D. from St. John's University, NY. He enlisted in the Army during WWII at the age of 18 and later served in the Korean War as a staff intelligence officer under General Mark W. Clark in Tokyo, Japan. He and Helen Hoffsommer of Kansas were married in 1952 in Japan. He retired from the Army Reserves as a Major and was a member of the Association. of Former Intelligence Officers. Author of the book Betrayal in Vietnam (1976), Dr. Fanning was a specialist in Vietnamese history and politics for the Future Heritage Foundation, served as an advisor to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was a visiting lecturer at the U.S. Special Warfare Center in Ft. Bragg, NC and a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institute of Stanford University, CA. The author shows how, shortly after President Nixon took office, a small group of determined Democrats launched a campaign to undercut his Vietnam Policy. Derived from a Kirkus review: Fanning examines more than six years of Executive and Congressional reports and recriminations re the Vietnam War, topping it off with President Thieu's pre-resignation salvo denouncing the US for "lack of responsibility and inhumanity toward an ally." He blames US withdrawal of troops on a handful of left-wing Democrats in Congress who engineered the resolutions and military appropriations cuts that jammed the US war machine in Southeast Asia. They are: Church, Cooper, McGovern, McCarthy, Hatfield, Fulbright. . . . The most sinister aspect of this assault on Nixon's "peace with honor" was the way Democratic Congressmen were influenced by war demonstrators, peace groups, and individuals (Tom Hayden and Jane Fonda) who were instructed and manipulated to "carry out the politboro's orders in the United States." The gist of Fanning's argument is that the groundswell of dissent in and out of Congress was Hanoi-inspired and Uncle Sam reneged on its commitment to the people of South Vietnam.
