Novelist Wilson's own spoils will be impressive. Prepublication orders totaling nearly 50,000 copies make A Summer Place an automatic bestseller. With serialization in McCall's ($100.000) and a Hollywood sale ($500,000 plus 25% of the profits), the book is as good a property as the oil wells Wilson bought with his earnings from The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.

Died. Dr. Richard C. Hubley, 31, zestful, white-haired geologist, glaciologist, coordinator of the U.S. International Geophysical Year glaciological program for the Northern Hemisphere, leader of a four-man scientific expedition encamped (at 8,000 ft.) since April on McCall Glacier in Alaska's Brooks Range; apparently by his own hand (stripped to the waist, he walked some 200 yd. from camp, lay down in zero weather, froze in time-honored Eskimo-suicide fashion...
