...sent both men back to private law practice. Rogers rejoined the New York-Washington firm now known as Royall, Koegel, Rogers & Wells, practicing general corporate law. He is now a senior partner, with an income of about $300,000 a year, clients such as 20th Century-Fox, the Associated Press and the International Herald Tribune, a home in Bethesda, Md., and a New York apartment overlooking the East River. Yet his life-style is not pretentious. His Washington office is smallish. His home is roomy but not luxurious; the swimming pool in back is a small one. After learning that...

...purpose of destroying the novel's pretensions to literary or social merit, ten black writers have written criticisms in William Styron's Nat Turner, Ten Black Writers Respond (Beacon Press, $1.95). All of the criticisms are worth reading closely, the most incisive being those by Lerone Bennett, Vincent Harding and Mike Thelwell. The writers are thorough going and competent; among them they do a far more definitive delineation of the book's absurdities and fabrications than I have done here.
