Thnndar, April 4, 1963 THE McHENBY PUUNDEALER Pag* ThtatoM McHenry Library Corner Main and Green Sta. m HOIKS Friday Evenings: 7 to 9 p-«i- Daily, Including Saturday: 2 to 5 p.m* New Books - - "SEVEN DAYS IN MAY," by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II. • Those seven days in May began on a quiet Sunday morning with the spring air warm and deceptively calm over Washington. Ordinarily Col. Martin J. Casey of the Marines faced Sunday duty in the Petagon with a kind of sunny resignation. But this morning a vague .Uneasiness accompained him as he approached his duties as director of research and' plan- . ning for the! Joint Chiefs of Staff. •* -Casey couldn't diagnose it. Certainly there were plenty of possible causes. The country was in a sullen mood--apprehensive over the nuclear disar- * m a m e n t , t r e a t y , w o r r i e d . about unemployment and inflation, angered by the prolonged missile strike, not sure of the man in the White House. President Jordan Lyman was currently at an all-time low in the popularity polls--mostly because of the disarmament treaty he had engineered. And as Lyman's rating slipped, that of James M. Scott, Casey's boss and chairman of the Joint Chiefs, soared. Indeed, General Scott was such a national favorite that he was increasingly mentioned as Lyman's probable - opponent in the next election. 4 Eut the general problems turned out to be relatively minor. For what Colonel Casey uncovered, as each accidentally discovered fact became part of a pattern under his eyes --was something so incredible it could be divulged only to the President himself, so fan-. ' tastic and yet so logical and ingenious that no ordinary measures would suffice to stop it. By Tuesday, the country was deep in a constitutional crisis without precedent in its history.. Yet at the outset President Lyman decided that he must act in secret, without a word to the nation. So with the world unaware of either the issue or the prize, the contest was joined. Seven Days in May is a novel of suspense pegged to one of the central issues of our times. Its plot develops with logical and disturbing inevitability to create a gripping thriller. "THE COMMISSIONER," by Richard Dougherty. Built around the tensions and tragedies of a three-day manhunt, this major novel ranges dcfeply into the public and private life of the Commissioner himself and into the lives of a handful of his ke> men. The commissioner is far more than a spectacular view of big city police, it is a compassionate and often humorous view of the strengths and frailties of contemporary New Yorkers. Widely acclaimed for his first two novels "A summer World" and "Duggan," Richard Dougherty has turned his considerable talents to an analysis of the New York City police department and of the fashionable world of New York's upper East Side. The commissioner. Anthony Russell, has worked hard to get what he wants. Unrelenting in his struggle to eliminate corruption, he is faced with the choice of bringing his lifelong friend, Charley Kane, the chief inspector, to departmental trial, or of sacrificing the priniciples which have made him a strong Commissioner. In his private life, Russell has grown away from his unsophisticated wife, Margie, and has formed a liaison with Tricia Bentley, a glamorous and intelligent New York socialite. "The Commissioner" brings together at least a dozen worlds that make up modern New York - the intricate institutional world of the police department; the teeming chaos of Spanish Harlem: the quasisuburbia of eastern Queens; and the assured world of East Side affluence. Broadly conceived and finely executed, "The Commissioner" establishes Richard Dougherty as a writer of the first rank. "THE SILENT PEOPLE," by Walter Macken. "The Silent People" is the second of Walter Macken's historical novels about the Irish and their dramatic struggles to survive the violence and poverty that have so often beset their land. As in the popular "Seek the Fair Land," this is a romantic story of the "little people" the farmers and peasants--set against a backdrop of the "big people." It is during these times of passionate conflict that the youth, Dualta, is driven from his Galway home by extreme injustice. Wandering south, he falls in with Cuan and his brawling gang of Tipperarymen who seek justice through violence. Dualta's peace-loving spirit soon rebels against Cuan's methods of lighting fire with fire, and he allies himself with O'Connell and his party. Soon Dualta settles on a derelict hill farm in the towrv of Clare, marries, and ekes out an existence. How Dualta, his family and all the Irish try to survive in this explosive period of factional fights, tithe wars, land wars, poverty, and finally the tragedy of the Great Famine is a story of hunger and despair. But most of all it is an actionfilled story of the indomitable spirit of man. SAFETY OFFICER URGES "DIM RULE' IN MEETING CARS Experts in the field of traffic saftey have long urged motorists to dim their lights when approaching other cars. J. R. Weichmann, Traffic and safety officer notes that many drivers do not comply with this safety measure. "Not only is this a suggested safety precaution, it is the law" advises the McHenry police officer. Illinois law specifies that headlights be dimmed when approaching another vehicle from either direction when the other vehicle becomes within 35(. feet. This distance can be more readily interpreted in terms of a city block. When conditions permits it is suggested that lights be dimmed at even a greater distance. What is accomplished by returning your lights to the upper beam when an approaching driver has failed to lower or dim his? "Nothing," says officer Weichmann, "You are merely compounding an unsafe practice. When this happens, concentrate your attention on the right hand side of the road to minimize the effect of the glare. This is an occasion where courtesy and self-control tends to escape us and could lead to disasterous results."
