Missing Disciplines. Dell's new hardcover imprint, called Delacorte, lured James Jones away from Scribners, which had published his first four books. Jones's contract assures him $800,000 for rights to his next three books, despite the fact that Jones is only halfway through the first.

...orderly manner. His first painting, Razor, done in 1922, was a heraldic crossing of a safety razor and a fountain pen below a matchbox, backed up by angular cubist meanderings. Another painting, 6 ft. by 6 ft., showed giant watchworks. Portrait detailed Murphy's foot and its inky imprint, three true thumbprints, and a prototype profile of "Caucasian...
