While TIME correspondents in Italy dug for proof of Castaneda's residence some 20 years ago in Milan, reporters in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro sought to trace his early years in South America. Correspondent Bernard Diederich visited known witchcraft centers in rural Mexico in search of Don Juan, and Sandra Burton herself traveled south of the border seeking the shaman. In New York, Reporter-Researcher Patricia Beckert interviewed Castaneda's friends and fellow anthropologists...
...later interview Don Juan. But he became so unmanageable that an uncle, the family patriarch, had him placed with a foster family in Los Angeles. In 1951 he moved to the U.S. and enrolled at Hollywood High. Graduating about two years later, he tried a course in sculpture at Milan's Academy of Fine Arts, but "I did not have the sensitivity or the openness to be a great artist."

...VISCONTI HOURS Edited by Millard Meiss and Edith Kirsch. 262 pages. Braziller. $35. This facsimile reproduction of the Visconti Book of Hours was originally commissioned sometime before 1385 by the puissant Count, later Duke of Milan, Giangaleazzo Visconti. The first part ended with Giangaleazzo's death in 1402. Some ten years later the book was resumed when his son became duke.
