|  | A Question of Character by Thomas C. Reeves
Despite the many biographies of John F. Kennedy, none has attempted to reconcile the idealism and lofty vision of the nation's youngest president to the morally suspect conduct of the private man. Questioning how his less than exemplary life related to the actions and decisions of his public career, Reeves probes the bewildering vagaries of Kennedy's character, penetrating his carefully wrought public image to reveal the true man. Two 8-page photo inserts. AUTHOR: Thomas C. Reeves

 | Outside the Magic Circle by Hollinger F. Barnard, Studs Terkel
`This extraordinary memoir by Virginia Foster Durr originated in interviews between 1974 and 1977. Hollinger F. Barnard pieced together the interviews in a way that eliminated repetition, produced a coherent and eminently readable narrative, and in the process, demonstrated her superb editorial skills. The result is a book that both chronicles the emancipation of a southern lady and probes the mind and mores of her region with rare insight, disarming candor and engaging wit. AUTHOR: Hollinger F. Barnard, Studs Terkel
