...Frankly, the large response surprised me a bit," recalls Roy Larsen, the magazine's first circulation manager and now a vice chairman of Time Inc. "Of course I was quite pleased so many accepted, since it showed a lot of people believed in us and in what we were trying to do." He best remembers the faith shown by a young American priest, whose check was accompanied by a note ordering "the renewal of my subscription for life and forever."

That helped one voter make up his mind: he cast a write-in vote for the empty chair...
...except for one Celtics home game next Wednesday at the Garden. Tip-off will be at 7:30. which seems a lot like the old glory days of the Celtics. Boy, even when the Celtics were winning all those championships I was still on the bench watching Don Larsen on the mound. He used to scuff up the ball, and the umpire would walk out to the mound, and then the manager would come out, and before you knew anything. I'd be traded to another team. Back to you, Tony...
