Will Bohlander. although

endearing moments. When
he hears that an industrial

the executive suite, he quick
ly reads through the Fortune

to cheat on your personality

highest promotable mature
rating in the whole corpora
ton. A good thing, too, as it
takes a bit of skullduggery to
get ahead in the Kingside
Corp. Old Mr.. Kingside, the
founder and president, is
something of a nut and has
the ulcer-producing habit Of
giving the AK to any one who
seems to be climbing too high
or too fast up the organiza-

Will keeps the upper hand
through a projected merger,
a breakdown by the Board of
Directors, and an open meet
ing of the stockholders. In
the process he leaves his wife
alone on Christmas night,
cheats her out of a long
postponed vacation, and fl
nally fails to rally round
with aid ana comfort when
the basement is flooded. This
flood in the basement is, in
a sense, what finally does
him in. But the author is too
wise in the ways both of
human nature and the cor

unlikely tying-up of loose
ends. She leaves Wills do

THE WAY THE BALL
B0UNCES. BY Byron Gen.
try. (Naylor Co.; $495)

Byron Gentry is an uncom-
mon man. A self-styled free
lance orphan" he entered
the University of Southern
California at is, starred on
its greatest football teams,
became a lawyer, Pasadena
city prosecutor and part
time poet and now serves,
additionally, as Commander
in-Chief of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars.
In his latest literary effort,
Mr.. Gentry has combined
tales of his 21-year foot
ball career, stories of the
moods of war and an evalua-
ton of present-day law en-
forcement and the courts.
The way Mr.. Gentry does it,
with wit, wisdom and out
spokenness, the combination
is a winning one. adding up
to thoroughly enjoyable read
ing.
Goal to Goal
Perhaps the most enter
tanning part of his book is
found in what the author
calls the first half" Here he
produces a lively account,
spiced with irreverent and
humorous comment, Of his
playing days in high school;
at use, where he was a
member Of Howard Jones
laundering Herd" and
with. the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Mr.. Gentry, who describes
his high school coach as "a
real builder of character
he knew as little about foot
ball as any man I ever met"
tells of one stringbean quar-
terback who could do only
one thing. He could throw a
pass from one goal line to the
other. In fact, he preferred
to retreat to his own goal
line wind up and heave the
ball in a perfect spiral over
the crossbar of the oppo-
nents' goal posts.
"The only trouble was that.
even with a 50-yard start, we
could never get a receiver
anywhere near the ball." the
author observed. But it sure
loosened up the pass de-
fense."

ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF

ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF
IVAN DENISOVICH. BY
Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
(Dutton authorized" edi-
ton, $3.95; Praeger, $3.950
In late 1860, Alexander
Solzhenitsyn submitted the
manuscript Of his short
novel to Alexander Tvardov-
sky, the poet who edits the
monthly literary journal.
Novy Mir New World for
the Union of Soviet Writers.
After debates within the
Communist Party, Nikita s.
Khrushchev gave Tvardovsky
permission to publish "One
Day" 1t appeared in print on
November 20, 1862, and with
in "a hours all $4,000 copies
were sold.
"One Day in the Life Of
Ivan Denisovich" since
then has become the most
talked about book in the So
Wet Union, and the most
eagerly awaited one outside.
1t is read not only for its
artistic merits (which are
CONSIDERABLE but for it's
revelations about life in a So
Wet concentration camp.
"One Day" is an unadorned
story from reveille to lights
out in a special" camp sim
liar to many that were built
during Stains cruel reign.
Stains Camps
Since the beginning of the
Discrimination" campaign
in 1856, Soviet writer's have
been noticeably more willing
and free-to discuss the
abuses Of the Stain years,
including the fact that mil
lions of innocent citizens
were arrested, forced to "con-
fess," and sent to faraway
labor and concentration
camps. Several writer's have
spoken of these camps, but
Mr.. Solzhenitsyn, a former
inmate himself, is the first to
describe one in detail.
Arrested for some remarks
he made about Stain, the
author spent eight years in
one camp. His hero, Ivan
Denisovich Shukhov, is partly
photographed. He is an
ordinary Russian man, a car
penter by trade, who fought
against the Germans during
the war. He was captured,
but made his way back to the
lines. For his bravery, he was
arrested and charged with
being German spy.
We meet Shukhov on an
ordinary day in his eighth
year in camp. 1t is cold 17
below but not so cold that
men don't work. Food is short
and tasteless but Shukhov
managed a double portion of
stew. The work is hard, but
Shukhov enjoyed the after
noon of brick building. I'VE
live by the law Of the Jungle"
Shukhov remembers his first
leader saying. But even here
people manage to live"
Our hero. in fact, has man
aged quite we'll to survive. He
knows how to conserve his
food ration; where to steal
and where to beg. His fell
lows in squad l04 are sim
ilarly ordinary men - a mi
crocosom of Soviet society.
There are military men, re-
ligious believers, industrial
managers - all in camp for
no real cause. They all are

Experts tend to look at
Africa either in microcosm or
macrocosm especially since
they have overcome the mo-
mentary rush to discover
"the African mind"
Perhaps the most illucidat-
ing reporting on Africa comes
from the microcosmic group
that seeks out a small segment
of the patchwork whole and
describes it carefully, sin
cerely and minutely.
The other method, the
macrocosmic, is to attack the
gargantuan as whole, try
ing to penetrate the myriad
of traditions, colonial his
tories and tribal customs to
draw some faint generaliza-
ton.

Melvin J. Lasky is a delight

obviously argues a little. He
listens in the barroom, the
