...glib-jib Private Eyes (Snow BUSINESS, Oct. 26). On TIME since 1951, he has contributed to almost every section of the magazine, handled the Sport section for three years (1955-58), and helped inaugurate the Show Business section with a cover story on Jack Paar (Aug. 18, 1958).

This novel, by the author of the diamond-hard Portrait of a Man Unknown (TIME, Aug. 4, 1958), suggests that reality, like a geometer's plane, has only surface, no depth.

On the eve of the trial, J.J. threw in the towel, settled for a tax-free $250,000-a relative pittance that seemed little more than the price of sparing Vincent's executors the nuisance value of J.J.'s action. J.J. will be paid off by the Vincent Astor Foundation, whose main purpose is to improve...
