While Cuba's cultural commissars pondered converting Ernest Hemingway's 13-acre Finca Vigia into a museum, his widow, Mary Welsh Hemingway, was more concerned about his literary monument. Spending what may be her last weeks at their longtime Cuban home, Mrs. Hemingway, as per her husband's request, destroyed personal papers, culled his "hundreds of thousands of typewritten pages" for marginal notes like "burn this" or "this is pretty good" as a guide to what to publish and what to let perish.

...with an enterprise characteristic of Review's methods. Young (31) Editor George Plimpton introduced himself to Hemingway in the bar of Paris' Hotel Ritz, spent two weeks watching bullfights with him in Madrid, later flew down to Cuba for long hours of talk in Hemingway's Finca Vigia home, broken by long hours in a fishing boat with the old man and the sea. The resulting interview has a refreshing flavor matched against the pedantic fuss-budgetry of critics in rival quarterlies. Sample: "I always write on the principle of the iceberg.
