Cordial Reception. Medical World News, Geffen's new magazine, could not have chosen a less auspicious month than April 1960 to make its debut. The Kefauver investigation of overpricing in the drug industry had only recently opened in Washington. And although Geffen recognized his total dependence on drug advertisers, he also recognized the need for editorial independence. In issue after issue, the testimony brought out by the Kefauver committee ran in the fledgling MWN side by side with pharmaceutical...
Exposure in the U.S. has been a bit of a problem for Perlman. His all-important debut in Carnegie Hall went unnoticed because it occurred during the 1962-63 newspaper strike. Then last April he won the prestigious Leventritt Competition, but in all the excitement the $15,000 Guarnerius violin he had borrowed from Juilliard was stolen. The instrument was recovered later in a pawnshop, but news of the event completely overshadowed his stunning victory. Barring other such misfortunes, the U.S. and the world will be hearing a lot more about Itzhak Perlman in the very near future...

"If you try to be somebody else," cautioned Cooke, "you're lost." So the fledgling commentator skipped politics next day, and interviewed Humorist Malcolm Muggeridge...
Fighting down a temporary temptation to become a doctor, Copeland took a degree in industrial chemistry at Harvard ('28), then made a modest debut in the family company. He started as an expediter for small orders, but was laid off when the Depression struck. Back in the company after only four months, he began to rise with predictable speed: board member at the age of 37, then corporate secretary, chairman of the finance committee, vice president. In 1962 Crawford Greenewalt-whose wife is a Du Pont and a first cousin of Copeland's-moved to the chairmanship after...
