RANDOM NOTES
Just Out: P. G. Wodehouse is a biography by David A. Jasen (Mason & Lipscomb, $12.50).Sir Robert (No Exit from Vietnam) Thompson warns that Peace Is Not at Hand (McKay, $7.95). The same house offers a first (and undoubtedly a last): Maxine Brady’s The Monopoly Book. Yes, it’s about the game ($5.95)Joseph Wechsberg portrays Verdi (Putnam, $15). The same house offers Walter Laqueur’s cultural history of Weimar, and it’s sure to be searched for analogies ($8.95). Richard M. Ketchum’s The World of George Washington is lavishly turned out but by no means adulatory (American Heritage; $25 to Jan. 1, then $35).
