Walker Percy, 46, was an intern in the pathology department of Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital 20 years ago when tuberculosis forced him to give up medicine. A private income permitted him the luxury of pleasing only himself, and he began to write. His first two novels pleased no one and were not published. His third, The Moviegoer, was warmly praised by a few reviewers, ignored by many others (TIME, May 16, 1961), and widely unread. It was a blow that puffers of giantism accepted with much bad grace when The Moviegoer won last year's National Book Award...
...monocled Actor Martyn Green, 63, whose $350,000 negligence suit against a Manhattan parking garage was tossed out of court. Three years ago, Green's left leg was amputated after it was crushed between the garage's self-service elevator platform and the shaft wall; an ambulance intern had to borrow a penknife from a cop to perform the operation.

...anybody can help make the U.S. Education Commissioner's Office into a real center of influence on America's schools, rather than the wayside information booth it always has been, it is President Kennedy's most recent Harvard appointment. Dean Keppel's creation of intern and team teaching, his guiding of a committee to find a school superintendent for New York (surely the most delicate and trying job to ask of any educator), and his 14-year-long supervision of the University's rapidly growing Graduate School of Education have shown it. He has a clear vision of what urban...
...liberal capitalistic philosophy: "The sutnmiim bonum is to be achieved through a maximum of individual freedom of action consistent with behavior which is not predatory or antisocial." Advice from Beyond. After winning his Ph.D., David sought education of a different kind, signed on as a dollar-a-year political "intern" on the staff of New York's fiery reform mayor, Fiorello La Guardia. The main accomplishment of his 18-month stint: suggesting that merchan dise display cases be set up at La Guardia Airport to increase city revenues, and using his formidable name to convince businessmen that they should lease...
