...columnist for the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat, and a part-time correspondent for TIME. Two years later he returned east to work first for LIFE, then for TIME. As a TIME Business writer, he has done two other cover stories, Toymaker Louis Marx (TIME. Dec. 12) and American Express' President Reed (TIME, April 9), plus such features as "Company Towns" (TIME, April 16) and "The Age of Research'' (TIME. July...
