Random Notes

Last of March: The Life and Times of Joe McCarthy (Stein & Day, $19.95), by Thomas C. Reeves, makes its bid for recognition as the definitive—and least biased—biography of the Senator from Wisconsin.

More April Titles: Strictly Personal and Confidential: The Unmailed Letters of Harry Truman (Little, Brown, $10.95), edited by Monte M. Poen, is a delightful volume of psychological irrepressibility offering perhaps a clue to Mr. Truman’s vigorous and healthy longevity. . . . The Selected Letters of Mark Twain (Harper & Row, $15), edited and with an introduction and commentary by Charles Neider, is an entertaining book—essentially a redaction of the two-volume collection of letters edited by Albert Bigelow Paine and published in 1917.
