fertile fictional girls after a
single encounter?
When Gregory is called
upon to face the consequences
of his afternoon off, he panics
and reacts in a dastardly way
that first surprises and later
revoltS him. The only trouble
is that although Gregory's
plaSter-of-paris feet come as
a shocking self-revelation to
Gregory, they are really no
surprise to anyone else: his
wife, his best friend his
brother-in-law, the reader.

The Scales
OF Justice
CON RESS AND THE
COURT. BY Walter F..

COUKT. BY Walter F.
Murphy. university of
Chicago Press; $685.
Outside Of news publica-
tions, letters to the editor,
and the Congressional Rec
ord. surprisingly little has
been printed about the often
touchy and sometimes stormy
relations between Congress
and the Supreme Court.
The subject and the peri
odic struggles, of course,
started with Chief Justice
Marshall and have gone on
to include Chief Justice War
rem and his associates. Prof.
Murphy of Princeton, who
has a masters degree from
George Washington Univer-
sity and was an instructor in
political science at the Naval
Academy, does not attempt
to cover the whole field. He
concentrates on congressional
attacks on the Warren court
and its momentouS decisions
and dicta-between 1854
and 1860.
Under Change
The treatment is in great
detail. perhaps too much.
But it is worth the effort be-
cause it deals with an un-
usually significant segment
of judicial and congressional
history. Fortunately for the
general reader, Prof. Muir
ply puts this into proper
perspective by recounting
the Supreme Courts clashes
with Congress in earlier times
of national crisis. This adds
weight to his analysis and
criticism Of the courts opin-
ions and changes and of the
moves in Congress to coun-
teract or circumvent the tri-
bunal.
Congressional complaints
and generally ineffective
moves against the Warren
court differed in method from
the historic pattern stretch
ing back to the Marshall
court, Prof. Murphy holds.
He contends that, unlike the
1887 situation growing out
of President Roosevelt'S at
tack on the court, the War
rem court "retreated after
the attack on it had been
broken" in Congress.
Those and other conclu-
Sions in this valuable book
are bound to arouse dispute.
But so do Congress and the
Supreme Court.

at great length and then
abandoned, except for a bit
of symbolism at the end of it.
Mrs. Jameson is a talented
Story-teller, however, and
some Of the minor characters
are expertly drawn. Gregory's
self-seeking friend, Lambert,
is a much more convincing
creation than Gregory him
self. AS for Lambert's wife,
Penny, a wildly enthusiastic
patroness of the literary
world, she is obviously some
one the author has been
stalking for years. If not,
then she is a triumph of
malevolent Imagination!

Consent" with the added
and almost overriding in
gredient of sex. Whereas
Allen Drury only implied in
his beSt-seller that some
Washington officials might
just possibly not be paragons
of virtue when the sap was
running In their veins, Mr..
Tully comes right out and
says so with a will.
He Calls Names
His backgrounds are au-
thentic. as well they might
be since Mr.. Tully covered
Washington for many years
as a Scripps-H Howard CORE
spondent. He writes know
ingly of Georgetown, Foggy
Bottom, the White House,
Senate committees and the
Pentagon. He knows. and
lists correctly, the restaurants
where official Washington
likes to 60 and adds verissi-
Multitude by inserting the
names Of such journalists as
our own grizzled George Ken
nedy.
But sex is the handspring
OF Mr.. Tully's latest work
and it is a tangled web Of
interlocking infidelities he
weaves. The protagonist here
is John Thurston, an Acting
Secretary Of Defense under a
President who sounds like
Eisenhower until it becomes
plain, when Eisenhower is
mentioned, that he can't be
Eisenhower. Mr.. Thurston is
carrying on an intense love
affair with a Capitol Hill
secretary while Mrs. Thurs
ton is similarly involved with
a State Department bachelor \
Plot and More Plot
Wanting to become Sec
retary Of Defense in name as
well as in fact, Mr.. Thurston
refuses a divorce to his un-
loved wife because he feels a
scandal would be his political
undoing. This does not set
well with his innamorata
who finds it's expedient to
gambol with total strangers
every time Mr.. Thurston
breaks a date with her.
Described as brilliant by
the author, Mr.. Thurston
then allows himself to be
blackmailed by imported
rocket scientist Kurt Dietrich

with the result that brought
Mr.. Percy to the Astor Hotel
press conference.
Mr.. Perey's First Novel
The author turned out to
be a quiet, soft-spoken man
Of IS who could be as easily
overlooked as was his book.
Trained as a doctor, Mr..
Percy offered in his first novel
the pathologist's suspicion
that something's wrong"
The story is laid in New Or
leans at Mardi Gras time
and concerns a hero who
found in the movies the de-
sired touch of fantasy which
his own life lacked. 1t struck
the judges as a truthful novel
with shocks of recognition
and spasms of nostalgia for
every or nearly every
American"
The fact that so few of his
interviewers knew enough
about the book to speak out
kept the questions to Mr..
Percy at an almost embar-
RAISING minimum. His own
taciturnity contributed fur
ther to the effect. Alabama
born of a Mississippi father
and a Georgia mother and
now living in Louisiana, Mr..
Percy was asked why the
South has made such an
enormous contribution to
modern American fiction.

Has he written any other

The winner of the prize for
the most distinguished book
of poetry, Alan Dugan for
Poems" (Yale University
Press, seemed bemused by
the proceedings. The usual
question directed at any poet
writing today is Where on
earth does a Poet fit into our
machine age?" It was asked
all right but Mr.. Dugan had
an unorthodox reply. To
make a living he works in a
factory which makes repro
ductions of anatomy for
drug houses. He personally
makes many of these prod
uctS.
A wiStful looking man of
80, Mr.. Dugan's poems are
clearer than most modern
poetry and the judges found
them moving poems through
which laughter rings like a
chisel."
Mr.. Dugan preferred for
his poetry to speak for him
and at the ceremony later
at which all the winners re-
cieved $1,000 checks he con-
tented himself with reading
several poems.
