...Gamesman has already been placed on many executive "must" reading lists. Among the businessmen who have already read it, one finds it an interesting contribution to management lore, another calls it "outrageous."

...novelist; after a long illness; in Bronxville, N.Y. As a young English professor at the University of Alabama after World War I, Carmer wandered through the backwoods of the state, talking with natives both black and white. The result: Stars Fell on Alabama, a vivid collection of country lore. Its success led him back home to "York State," as he liked to call the 55 upstate New York counties, to write his loving chronicles of the region, including Listen for a Lonesome Drum, Dark Trees to the Wind and a novel, Genesee Fever.
