...doing this week's cover story, Writer Seamon drew on 40,000 words of research from Show Business Reporters Serrell Hillman, Dorothea Bourne and Ruth Brine, who spent a total of 30 hours with their subject. Dick Seamon, a newsman who can write equally well about Willie Mays, Shirley MacLaine or Anne Bancroft, epitomizes TIME'S regard for versatility and breadth, is a modern, journalistic example of the sort of writer Ben Jonson admired some 350 years ago.

Most striking exceptions to the slowish growth patterns of the East and South: Delaware's population expanded no less than 40% (rapid industrial growth drew in a lot of newcomers), Florida's a boom-sized...

MARCEL DUCHAMP, by Robert Lebel (191 pp.; Grove; $15), is billed as the "first full-scale study" of the Daddy of Dadaists. The scrappy text suggests that the author followed a method once used by Duchamp for writing music-he drew notes and musical markings out of a bag at random. But the volume makes up for the grab-bag text by reproducing almost every known work of Expressionist Cubist-Surrealist Duchamp, from his mustachioed Mona Lisa and famed Nude Descending a Staircase to the catalogue cover he decorated with a foam-rubber breast and the caption: "Please touch...
