Associate Editor Ed Magnuson, who wrote the story, is a veteran of 26 TIME covers, dating back to 1962 and encompassing the full range of domestic debate over the war. Magnuson is a former Navy man, having done a two-year hitch before he went on to study journalism at the University of Minnesota in 1948. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate, Magnuson worked for ten years as a reporter and assistant city editor on the Minneapolis Tribune before coming to TIME in 1960.

The other "good things to do" are political campaigning for liberal congressmen, skiing, hitch-hiking, visiting the countryside (illustrated by third-rate Sierra Club-style photographs adorned with Whitman quotes), and the Hasty Pudding Show. This latter good thing is a perfect demonstration of Three Thirty Five's lack of editorial credibility and clarity. I, for one, don't feel that a drag show put on for half...
...Columbia and became a leading mathematical statistician. As dean of the Stanford graduate school, he sharply improved its faculty, then left in 1963 to create a first-rate graduate program at CUNY. Because of his unusual record of academic, political and social expertise, University of California President Charles J. Hitch recommended only one man to head Berkeley-Bowker...
