THE PRACTICE by Alan E. Nourse, M.D. Harper Row, $10.95 For young Dr. Rob Tanner, the invitation to join a family clinic in Twin Forks, Montana, seemed a golden opportunity. All the elements of a good solid practice were there: competent men doing competent work, even under the handicap of a remote location. To Rob's wife, Ellie, the invitation meant a new home and the start of a family. But within weeks of their arrival in Twin Forks, they discover that beneath the apparently serene surface of the rural group practice surge devastating rivalries and ambitions. Written by a physician. The Practice offers penetrating insights into medicine and marriage. Page 241
EXCELLENCY by David Beaty William Morrow, $8.95 An English diplomat, an African dictator, a young pilot and a pretty girl—as the newly independent state of Kajandi plunges from one disaster to another, the lives of these four people become entwined in surprising ways. An exciting story of power and intrigue, of adventure in the air and on the ground. Page 439
THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE by Forrest Carter Delacorte Press, $7.95 The many-faceted tale of the author's own boyhood in the Tennessee mountain home of his Cherokee grandparents. This is a joy-filled, often very funny, story of love, commonj sense, and the Indians' communion with the land. As in any real story, though, all is not joy: the boy comes to know cruel outsiders, sanctimonious do-gooders, and death.
Little Tree's education is realistic and moving as he shares the bittersweet splendor of his grandparents' old age. Page 147

THE LAST CONVERTIBLE by Anton Myrer
There was never another car like the Empress—a deep iridescent green 1938 Packard convertible. She carried the dreams of five young Harvard men and their girls, rocketing off, top down, to football games and dances to the Big Bands. Then that world blew apart on a December Sunday in 1941. One by one the young men fell away, and the Empress—like a bright silver dollar— went from hand to hand. George Virdon, most faithful of the five, has the Empress now; and he tries to pass her on to a new generation with its own compelling dreams. For all who have ever been young at heart, the Empress—last of a magnificent breed—still takes to the road, sprinkled with stardust.
