Loyalties, by Daniel Patrick Moynihan Harcourt Brace, 96 pp., $9.95 This being election year, politicians are coming forth with books. Loyalties, by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, is 96 short pages long, which ought to be held up as an example to other politicians.

The title puzzles me. The book consists of three short essays, one on nuclear strategy, one on Israel, one on international law. Senator Moynihan explains that the title refers to loyalty to principles and allies, but that seems tometobe stretching a point.
