...newsman. Many, like NBC Commentator Joseph Harsch and New York Herald Tribune Pundit Roscoe Drummond, go inevitably to better jobs.

...farm full time. "If you want to start over, we'll start over," said his wife Manon. "If your heart's set on farming, you go right ahead." Every month he sent his Texas banker a $22 installment to pay off his Chevy loan. The cotton-gin owners liked him and staked him, and Roberts surged ahead.

...longtime jazz buff, Rexroth got together with Saxophonist Bruce Lippincott and worked out a sketchy jazz accompaniment for his new poem, Thou Shalt Not Kill, a lengthy dirge for long-lost friends, mostly poets: "What happened to Robinson who used to stagger down Eighth Street, dizzy with solitary gin? ... Where is Leonard who thought he was a locomotive? . . . What became of Jim Oppenheim? . . . Where is Sol Funaroff? What happened to Potamkin? . . . One sat up all night talking to H. L.
