...rugged, remote northwest corner of Montana, the Yaak River Valley is a picture postcard of some yesteryear. Moose muse among the willows. Elk graze on the slopes. White-tailed deer browse in the bottom land. Deep among the whispering pine and the hemlock, among the silver aspen and birch, the bears dig into windfalls for grubs. Rainbow trout, cutthroat and whitefish tumble in Beetle and Winkum Creeks...
...sign himself "Marty Marty." A hard-traveling (20,-000 miles so far this year) graduate of Missouri's Concordia Seminary, the Rev. Dr. Martin Emil Marty, 35, is an associate editor of the Christian Century and founding pastor of the big Church of the Holy Spirit in Elk Grove Village, 111., a Chicago suburb.-His own literary productivity is positively staggering: in the past five years he has written more than 300 articles, and in 1963 alone he will have overseen the publication of six books bearing his name as sole or joint author...
...looks like an English nobleman stalking an elk. His mustache would shame a venerable walrus. He is Theodore Sizer, 71, Professor emeritus of the history of art at Yale, a Harvard graduate ('15) and a 20th century go-getter who gets up and goes in unmistakable 18th century style.

Mary Chamberlin Scranton, 44, whose husband Bill assumes office in Pennsylvania on Jan. 15, is an outgoing, athletic type. Last week at Elk Mountain, near Forest City, Pa., the Scrantons and their children went skiing. Mary and a friend, Lawrence Coughlin, took a chair lift to the summit, got stranded near the top. Down below, unaware of his wife's predicament, Bill Scranton began searching in vain. At length, Mary and Coughlin came skiing down to the lodge. They had been stopped...
...tiny Marble, Colo., (pop. 5) stepped 44 boys from slums and suburbs in 15 states. There they stood awed and silent. All around were 14,000-ft. mountains covered with snow, aspen, blue spruce and Douglas fir; in the craggy heights roamed elk, bear and mountain sheep. The boys could tell it was no place for softies as they started trudging up the steep, three-mile road to a campsite high above the Crystal River Valley. Under the deep blue sky waited tents, blazing alpine meadows and leathery-faced instructors. "I hope you will enjoy your stay here," declared...
