Keylor's successor is Kelso F. Sutton-not much of a musician but a tested manager. Sutton, who came to Time Inc. in 1961 after graduating from Harvard, served as TIME general manager before becoming a Time Inc. vice president and the corporate circulation director in 1972 and publisher of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED in 1978.

"I was very rebellious and very feisty," she once explained. "The one place I wanted to go to was Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco." Patti did not go to the counterculture capital, but to Hollywood.
