IN BRIEF

* The Great Society finally has has found a genre worthy of it. Pocket Books, Inc. has published The Great Society Comic Book, coauthored by D.J. Arneson and Tony Tallarico. Featuring such greats as Bobman and Teddy, Gaullefinger, and Superlbj, it is worth approximately seven of the ten minutes it takes to read it. Ideologically wrong, of course, but it only costs a dollar. And the battle between Wonderbird and Chefman is an historical document.

* Contrary to popular opinion, Prudence and the Pill was not written by Graham Blaine. It is a "bedroom farce" about what happens when a suspicious husband replaces his wife's Enovid with aspirin. Pregnancy is the obvious result, but when? And who? Written by Hugh Mills, published by Lippincott, and not worth the effort.

* The scholastic tendency has hit trivia. Edwin Goodgold and Dan Carlinsky alphabetized all the major trivialities and arranged them so that you can't see the answer without having the person in the next stall at Lamont know you're cheating. A special twenty-question section for the connoisseur, even asks you to name Milton Berle's mother. (No, not Mrs. Berle.) A reading period necessity published by Dell for only fifty cents.
