Three years before his death in 1967, Henry R. Luce, co-founder of Time Inc., commissioned a history of the company. He opened his private files and corporate files and instructed Historian Robert T. Elson "to be candid, truthful and to suppress nothing relevant." Elson, a veteran correspondent and editor for TIME, LIFE and FORTUNE, followed orders. In 1968 he produced the lively and candid Time Inc., The Intimate History of a Publishing Enterprise 1923-1941.

FROM the start, the Nixon Administration's handling of the political-espionage scandal in Washington's Watergate complex last June has been amazingly inept.

(I replied that that was precisely what I had been trying to do for the past few years, and that I would expect to continue trying should I receive tenure.) Perhaps this is what was meant when during the debate on my rehiring a member...
...prescribed by the rabbinical divorce court where, in accordance with Jewish law, she is "cast out" by her husband, who then drops the get (divorce) papers into her cupped hands. Although the entire autobiography is being serialized in two Israeli newspapers, the main reason for its success is a candid chapter on Moshe's extramarital love life...
