OFF THE WALL
IN THE COUNTRY OF OURSELVES by Nat Hentoff (Dell):: Jazz critic Hentoff also writes high-school age children's books. This one is about the attempted takeover, by a variegated group of revolutionaries, of a Manhattan high school. It's fast, and a pretty good story, even if the politics are a little Great White Liberal for the 70s.

DAY OF THE DOLPHIN by Robert Merle (Fawcett):: True trash, but a good story. Scientist teaches dolphins to speak; U.S. military teaches dolphins to kill; dolphins return to scientist and squeal. What happens next makes a pretty good book — much concerned with sex and monogamy, surprisingly — and, more likely, a great pop movie.

THE PROGRESS OF AN AFFAIR by Felice Gordon (Dell):: A rock soapopera. Well, the singer is a little like Tom Jones, but still the essence is there. "A great English rock star in the shadow of the Mafia," says the cover blurb. A mediocre pop singer, in a tale too mediocre to believe, I think. Too square, too long, too bad.
