Thank you for the beautifully written story about Wendell Willkie [TIME, Oct. 16]. I am ashamed now of the silence I affected after his Presidential defeat because I feared the ridicule of those who believed him to be a political clown.

Credit for its awkward grace is due in part to a round dozen of its little-known players, in part to its scripters and director and cameraman, but most of all to 40-year-old Producer Val Lewton, nephew of Alia Nazimova...
...Grumman home is a white-shingled, blue-shuttered, 17-room house in Plandome, L.I., overlooking Long Island Sound. There Roy Grumman lives with his wife, Rose Marion, and his four children: Marion, 22, whose Army captain husband is stationed in England; Florence, 20, called "Flicker"; Grace, 18; and David, 9, who is known as "Butch" by his own request...
