* Say cheese: Former First Lady Nancy Reagan says she’s concerned about the impression created by the 83 photographs in her book, “My Turn,” which do not include her stepdaughter, Maureen Reagan, or her brother, Philadelphia neurosurgeon Richard Davis. The Reagans’ California spokesman, Mark Weinberg, said that pictures of both were “slated for the book, but the publisher cut them out for space. . . . Mrs. Reagan is upset that those pictures weren’t included.”

* If at first you don’t succeed: John F. Kennedy Jr. has failed his first attempt to pass the New York state bar examination. The 28-year-old son of the slain President was among about 7,000 people who took the test in July. About 70% passed. A New York University law school graduate, Kennedy works in the Manhattan district attorney’s office.

* Reel expert: A Baltimore man so skilled at burglary that he once made videotapes on the subject for local police is being tied to more than 1,000 break-ins in Florida. Richard Makofski, 35, is charged in a fugitive felony warrant with dealing in property stolen over the past nine months in Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties. Convicted of burglary in 1985, Makofski is being linked to a gang that broke into as many as six apartments a day.

* And the righteous shall flourish: West Germany awarded its highest medal for civilians to Mies Giep, 80, a Dutch woman who helped hide Anne Frank from the Nazis in an Amsterdam canal house. In London, Queen Elizabeth II made former South African lawmaker Helen Suzman, 71, an honorary dame in recognition of her lengthy campaign against apartheid.
