...moving even more directly against the heart of coffee's problem: oversupply. Brazil, the big gest producer, has taken the lead. It grows enough coffee each year to sup ply two-thirds of the world's needs, has enough surplus in storage to supply every coffee drinker for more than a year. Though present quotas allow it to sell only about 60% of its average 30-million-bag crops, the growers could not care less.

A dapper and courteous little man, he had a coterie of fishing and hunting companions in his home town, as well as numerous publishing friends in New York. He was always given a top table when he dropped in at Toots Shor's or "21" on his frequent visits to New York, graciously gave his autograph when asked, and readily discussed writing with perfect strangers -if they were not newsmen.
