Random Notes

□ More September Titles: In The Supreme Court: How It Was, How It is (Morrow, $18.95), Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist combines the history of the Court with the history of his personal involvement with that body, as well as an engaging explanation of how the third branch of government actually operates.

Man of the House: The Life and Political Memoirs of Speaker Tip O’Neill (Random House, $19.95), by Tip O’Neill with William Novak, is exactly the kind of memoir, written in the first person, one would expect from its principal author. “Power accumulates when people think you have power,” O’Neill writes; and “All politics is local.”
