Until three years ago, when the New York Evening Post began to print his work, Westbrook Pegler was better known in Chicago than in the East. Since 1920 he has lived at Pound Ridge, Conn. Possibly because most of his neighbors have remodeled Colonial farmhouses, Pegler's is an adaptation of a Bavarian chalet. Slight, wiry, sandy-haired, he plays atrocious golf, drives his car like the coal man. Before their marriage his attractive wife was Julia Harpman, star crime reporter on the New York Daily News.

...LIVING-Erskine Caldwell-Viking ($2). The late great Mark Twain never dared be quite as funny in public as he knew how to be in private; the censorship of his day was too much for him. Nowadays literary fashions are franker: almost everything can be said in print, and nearly everything is. Of all the young writers who frisk it in their new-found freedom, few kick higher heels than Erskine Caldwell, husky 30-year-old Georgian, the Methodist minister's son whose ribald God's Little Acre (TIME, Feb. 20) fell foul of Vice-Crusader John...
