Ali MacGraw's beauty and health routine.

Soap and water every day. Plenty of sleep every night. Lots of exercise in between. And most important of all-a thorough health checkup once a year. Ali knows many cancers are curable if diagnosed and treated early enough. Ali takes care of her looks by taking care of her life. We want to wipe out cancer in your lifetime.

Professional Construction Management and Project Administration, by William B. Foxhall, Senior Editor, Architectural Record. 114 pages; 8½ x 11; $15.00; McGraw-Hill. Publication: February, 1972.

Professional construction management is the unifying assembly of skills that helps control costs and schedules in the construction process and keeps it at its highest level of efficiency. So says William B. Foxhall in his new book, Professional Construction Management and Project Administration (McGraw-Hill, $15.00).

Citing various changes in the construction field, Foxhall calls for a clear identity and truly professional application of today's complex forms of management techniques. He also observes the four fronts of change that have emerged in the area and that call for an increased awareness of the professional construction field. These changes include:

* the increasing size and complexity of projects and clients, public and private.

* a corresponding shift in contracting method toward the multiple contract system that still requires a single management to unify the process.

* inflationary costs that set a terrible price on delay and call for management to shorten the time from conception to delivery of the completed project.

* increasing technical complexity of management itself that requires special knowledge in the realms of CPM, computer applications, and other techniques.
