Since the Sunday Times story, a Manchester professor has recalled meeting a Margaret Howard in the 1930s, but the only other traces of Conway and Howard are their signatures on reviews in the late 1950s published in the British Journal of Statistical Psychology. Those writings, mostly attacking Burt's enemies, stopped around the time Burt stepped down as the journal's editor. Says Princeton Psychologist Leon Kamin, an opponent of Burt in the heredity-intelligence debate: "It was a fraud linked to policy from the word go. The data were cooked in order for him to arrive...
...Forgetting-My Love Affair with Dwight D. Eisenhower. Summersby, who served as Ike's chauffeur, confidante and companion during much of World War II, wrote the book shortly before she died last year of cancer.

Publisher James J. Storrow Jr., who has owned the magazine since 1965, put it on the block early this year, after the retirement...
...Masaccio's Expulsion from Eden, and that turns the enormous grainy effigy of John Kennedy (then dead), with its repeated pointing hand, into a type of vengeful deity. Rauschenberg has had great moments of social irony. "The day will come," Edmond de Goncourt wrote in his journal in 1861, "when all the modern nations will adore a sort of American god, about whom much will have been written in the popular press; and images of this god will be set up in the churches, not as the imagination of each individual painter may fancy him, but established, fixed once...
