...from Harvard, Foote has been an English teacher, a foreign correspondent and an associate editor of LIFE. He worked in Paris for six years, two of them as editor of Time Inc.'s International Book Society, before becoming TIME'S Books editor in 1968.

"It is so much less of a trauma," says Crosby. "It's more like going into someone's living room." (Crosby has grown so fond of Frankel, in fact, that he has taken him on as a tennis partner.) Sandy Eisner, a Cleveland steel executive who drops in for treatment during business trips to Los Angeles, is another satisfied customer.
