...TIME'S reporting comes from the ends of the earth. Contributing Editor John McPhee, who wrote this week's cover story on Jackie Gleason, had only to pursue his subject a block away-to that upholstered saloon for the rented-Cadillac set called 21. Despite the convenience. McPhee's assignment deserves some kind of endurance prize, for he saw his subject in a gamut of moods: testy, comradely, hostile, candid, suspicious, trusting. Cover Artist Russell Hoban too, spent hours with his man, and sought to catch-in one portrait-some of the restless complexity of Gleason...

A rare combination of engineer and articulate salesman, Cole learned his engineering at General Motors Institute, the company engineering school, was chief engineer at Cadillac and then Chevrolet before he took over Chevy in 1956. He directed the development of the Corvette sports car and the Corvair air-cooled, rear-engine compact. Last year, introducing Detroit to the sales potential of pizazz with his chromed-up Monza, Cole whipped Chevy to record sales of 1,730,000-the most...
