ALL THE KING’S MEN Robert Penn Warren (Harcourt, $15) It’s the remake, stupid. James Carville, the plain-speakin’ Clinton strategist, wants to exec-produce a new film version of the political opus that won Broderick Crawford a 1949 Oscar.

UNTIL THE SEA SHALL FREE THEM Robert Frump (Doubleday, $24.95) Bruce Willis and Tom Hanks have been mentioned for roles in a sea disaster story. Could it be, the two reunited so many years after The Bonfire of the Vanities?
