...committees recognize that publishing is not an end in itself, according to Ford, but they do consider it the most reliable indication that the candidate will be able to grow with his field. There are tenured Faculty members who have published no more than a few journal articles. Nevertheless, in the History Department, Fleming says, "It is very difficult to imagine that a candidate wouldn't have published a book, in many instances two books--one of them being his Ph.D. thesis...
Vermont Connecticut Royster joined the Wall Street Journal rather casually. Fresh from college in 1936, he had been fired from a New York City news service and turned down by almost every paper in town. About to call it quits, he noticed the Journal on a newsstand. "Well, that's one I haven't tried," he thought. He was hired on a temporary basis, and claims that he still is a temporary fillin, though now he happens to be editor.

As a sign of his new national outlook, he and his wife Frances did not name their two daughters for states; they are called Bonnie and Eleanor...
Spinning the Wheels. In 1941, Royster was commissioned in the Navy, served in the Atlantic and the South' Pacific, where baffled brass mistook his name for some kind of code. At war's end, he became the Journal's Washington bureau chief, later moved to New York to write editorials for which he won a 1953 Pulitzer Prize for "warmth, simplicity and understanding of the basic outlook of the American people." He was named editor in 1958 and put in charge of the editorial page. Though he still sets policy, he writes few editorials nowadays. Instead...
