...CARSON, M.D. Salt Lake City Sir: Secretary Gardner's comments about top executives who cannot tolerate first- class men around them illustrate what is subconscious knowledge among supervisors and employees in business and Government. The symptoms of "injelititis or palsied paralysis" are best described by C. Northcote Parkinson, and the remedy is prescribed in a fine article written...

Mrs. Keyes (rhymes with eyes) is a very nice old lady of 81 who sells all the books she can write. Of the 47 that she has published since 1919, not counting this one, nearly half have been bestsellers. This one is already bobbing, a buoyant cork, on the bestseller lists...
