Now the assignments threaten to inundate him: last week a treatment of Jean Seberg in the Times; next month interviews with Jane Wyman, Katharine Ross, Harper's Bazaar Editor China Machado; a reminiscence on Carson McCullers (an old personal friend); a film for Melina Mercouri...

...post he left three years ago for the University of California. He lists William Henry Hylan as a CBS network vice president; Hylan went to the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in 1963 and has been there ever since. August Heckscher appears as a writer on the New York Herald Tribune; Heckscher, now New York City parks commissioner, left the Trib in 1956, and the newspaper closed down two years...
