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.

From their sirupy fiction to their slinky fashion ads, the weeklies are put together with but a single thought in mind: the care and catching of men.

Explains one of their top executives: "All other magazines turn people outward and away from themselves. Women's magazines deliberately invite the woman to think about herself...

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...
