trick as we never could guess;
there are two wonderful

infant Jesus; lovemaking as
evolved by Oscar is some
thing quite new to Eros.
Grass mordant laughter
sweeps everything before it;
when it ceases it leaves a
vacuum for pathos that stops
the heart and blinds the eye.
The story Of the violent
death of a Jewish toy
merchant at the hands of
Nazi thugs has certainly been
told, In its essence, many
times before. but Grass. by
a skillful change Of pace,
gives 1t an unbearable poign-
ancy. as he does, in a diff
ferent manner, the scene in
the Post Office in Danzig,
September /, 1899. The
wounded are brought into a
mail room full Of letters sud-
denly obsolete and never to
be delivered, a dying janitor
is held in place with q dead

he must finish his hand of

blots out fear and reality by
concentrating on his cards

scribed in detail, card by
card, one frightened man
loses his glasses and runs
away. and Oscar, petted by
the children-adoring Ger
man soldiers, imagines that
he has killed his father by
desertion-the father from
whom he inherited his clear
blue eyes. What other scene
In modern fiction is quite so
powerful?
What Grass Is drawing in
Oscar is not primarily q man
beset by escapism, guilt and
q longing for atonement. The
author makes that point in
directly by comparing him
with another character bold
ly named Raskolnikov. What
Oscar seeks is individual an
archy, freedom from super
stition, and non-involvement
with crowds. In the end,
though he is about to be set
loose. to return to the crowds,
the reader feels that he will
not have to beat his drum
so raucously or so frequently.
Grass avails himself Of
every style. He is q realist,
a surrealist. a satirist, a
romantic. His book. however,
is no medley every page is
limpid, taut. and kinetic. and
the whole is a masterpiece Of
sustained narrative. In "The
Tin Drum" we may very well
be witnessing the debut Of
one Of the finest novelists
Of our century.

Role Is Made

THE LEAST DANGEROUS
BRANCH. BY Alexander NJ.
Bickel (BohhS- Merrill: So


This book is for persons
who think that you have to
read between the lines to
understand what the Su-
preme Court does.
1t explains why the Ma
tion's highest court ducks
some broad issues, what rules
OF principle govern its de-
cision-making and how 1t
can talk its way out Of a
tough spot II necessary.
Mr., Bickel, a Yale law pro-
fessor who clerked for JUS
tice Frankfurter a decade
ago, attempts to provide
much Of the background that
one who follows the court
needs to have to know what
is going on.
He stresses that the high
court wields a threefold
power. 1t may strike down;
1t may validate a particular
actions or 1t may do neither.
And doing neither can be a
most significant act.
When the court acts, 1t
must base its decisions on
principle. This is the basic
obligation that gives the
court the right to scrutinize
the activities Of the other
branches OF Government.
But the court exists "in a
tension between principles
and expediency" and its abil-
ity to mot do" something,
in Mr.. Bickel's view. is the
secret OF its ability to main
tain itself.
In a Nation committed to
the ruff of principle as we'll
as majoritarian democracy.
the court has had to devise
means of coping with the
controversies thrust upon it
for resolution.
It has done this : pro-
ficiently as Mr.. Bickel dem
onstrates In a discussion
Of many tough issues that
have come before the tri-
bunal. The way that these
tough cases we're resolved
made history.
And the ways the court
has devised for handling
such matters. as presented
by Mr.. Bickel, makes for
highly Informative reading -
but beamed mainly at serious
students Of the court.
