A conscientious professional who lives quietly with a pretty kimono-clad young wife in the ancient tradition of his ancestors, the idol of the Sun Tribers tempers his cynicism with hard work: "As an author, I've got to sleep with my generation like a prostitute, but I've also got to climb out of bed occasionally and try to get one step ahead...

"We are reading about coal. Could you send some pamphlets and a piece of coal." A pupil in El Dorado, Ark. asked for "pictures and postcards." He did not say what sort of pictures or of what, but he did provide one pertinent bit of information: "I am in Mrs. Jackson's room." Said a brief note from Southwick, Mass.: "Will you send me all the information about your...
