...magnificent report on Turkey in the Common Market [Sept. 27]: TIME is unfair to Goodyear, which has the heftiest U.S. tire factory here. As representatives of Goodyear and Chrysler for nearly half a century, we are proud to report that both factories are going great guns in the Turkish industrial revolution. R. YALMAN Chairman Tatko Co. Istanbul...
Geese can be bought for $3 apiece, or rented for as little as $1.50 a season, and their ravenous appetites make them more than a match for marauding Johnson grass-a hardy weed that sprouts between the cotton rows again and again, despite the heftiest doses of weed killer. A brace of the waddling birds can keep an acre of cotton weeded; a gaggle of twelve geese can gobble as much as a hard-working man can clear with a hoe. Cotton-goosing farmers save $20 per acre compared with the stiffer cost of chemical weeding. The only drawback...

...fears; done up in a slipcase, the novellas are not only handsome but hefty, and the publisher is able to ask as much for about 60,000 words of text as he does for 260,000. Regrettably, O'Hara also reports that he is working on his heftiest novel yet (previous record: 897 pages in From the Terrace), apparently ignoring the fact that his jumbo works are not as good as his short ones. The outstanding qualities of these stories are matchless dialogue and-since there is much that dialogue cannot express directly-an attractive measure of reticence...
