...Depression-pressed authors like F. Scott Fitzgerald, e. e. cummings, Dashiell Hammett, Ezra Pound, Thomas Wolfe and Thomas Mann. One exception: Ernest Hemingway, who characteristically demanded and got $200. Much of Esquire's fiction has remained on that level, with postwar bylines including Joyce Gary, William Faulkner, Aldous Huxley, Arthur Miller, Paddy Chayefsky, Sinclair Lewis, Albert Camus, Edward Albee, John Steinbeck and Truman Capote...
...turned on his father, the king, with nothing more than sincerity and a mendicant's bowl. St. Francis of Assisi, who left a rich Italian merchant family to live in poverty among the birds and beasts, is another hero, along with Gandhi (for his patient nonviolence), Aldous Huxley (for his praise of hallucinogens in Doors of Perception), and J.

On the eve of the final vow-taking, his elder brother Patrick, a London publisher and one of the most cheerfully decadent characters in recent fiction, appears at Oliver's monastery by the Ganges. Unable to leave so much integrity untouched, Patrick tempts Oliver with...
...Although this is his first magazine cover, his witty vignettes have often appeared in TIME'S pages. At 42, one of the country's top editorial cartoonists, Conrad has his home base at the Los Angeles Times, but 150 other newspapers use his work, which illustrates Aldous Huxley's observation that caricature is the "most penetrating" of criticism...
