M. Stanton Evans Letters

■ Some June Titles: Julie Nixon Eisenhower’s first book is called Special People (Simon & Schuster, $8.95) and is composed of portraits of some of her acquaintances: Golda Meir; Mao Tse-tung; Ruth Bell Graham; Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne Morrow Lindbergh; and Mamie Doud Eisenhower. . . . Mr. Ben Stein, who ran away from the Wall Street Journal last year in order to make his fortune on the West Coast, has tapped the financial expertise of his father, Herbert Stein, to write what looks to be the latest thing in disaster novels: The Brink (Simon & Schuster, $8.95), about a rampaging and red-eyed Inflation. . . . Apocalypse: The Book of Revelation (Seabury Press, $10.95), by Jacques Ellul and translated by George Schreiner, is a “humanistic” critique of the Book of Revelation. . . . Andrew Field’s biography, Nabokov: His Life in Part (Viking, $15) looks to be an excellent book. … In The Day before Doomsday: An Anatomy of the Nuclear Arms Race (Doubleday, $8.95), Sidney Lens explains the wrong-headedness of the “balance of terror” strategy and claims that arms reduction talks have been mainly a form of sophisticated PR.

■ Sneak July Preview: InPRasin President (Doubleday, $8.50), Vic Gold, alias The Retired Flack, examines the 1976 campaign, which he regards as the most synthetic in history.
