Thirty years after Whitman's assault on the UT campus, the public's fascination with the seemingly wholesome family man seems to just keep growing; Kinky Friedman never goes out of style, and that's not just because he publishes one book a year like clockwork. Available at better bookstores, everywhere. A Sniper in the Tower (Ingram, $18.95 paper); Roadkill (Ballantine, $11.95 paper)
