...defer gratification. Protracted courtship or drawn-out seduction never seems to have appealed to the American male, for whom Stendhal's celebrated ten-year wait to achieve success with the wife of a Milan shopkeeper ("On Sept. 21 at half-past eleven," the novelist noted in his journal, "I won the victory I had so long desired") might appear something of a waste of time. American lovers are usually accused not only of wanting to win but of not exploiting their victories patiently enough-perhaps in part misguided by Kinsey, who equated rapid-fire lovemaking with superior virility...
...York World-Telegram and Sun, morale is down in the dumps. Editor Richard Peters has gone on vacation, and staffers doubt that he will return to work. One staffer after an other has left for another job. At the Journal-American, reporters are calculating their seniority and worrying about whether they can survive a merger. The word is out that peripatetic Editor John Denson is getting ready to move once more. In the city room of the Herald Tribune, reporters long hardened to the possibility that the paper itself might not survive are beginning to nurse a new nervousness that...

The precise date of the slow-motion merger, which has been in the works for three years, remains a mystery...
Further Testing. Test groups were too small for the doctors to draw any certain conclusions, but Jaffe and Brill report encouraging results. In the first issue of The International Journal of the Addictions, they say that of eleven male volunteers, only one so far did not work out; he decided to try methadone, a heroin replacement that also impedes highs but is itself addictive (TIME, Sept. 3). Among the other ten, preliminary results show varying signs of success. Most have reported a lessening of narcotic craving and say that they have tried large doses of their old drug once...
Died. Burris Jenkins Jr., 69, editorial cartoonist since 1931 for the New York Journal-American, a minister's son who liked to say that "cartoonists are just frustrated preachers," proved his point with such pieces as his 1957 sketch of Uncle Sam as Little Rock's "New Cop on the Beat" and other drawings aimed at foes from Klansmen to Castro; of a heart attack; in Hollywood...
