...words a day, often working on as many as seven at the same time. Last December the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, reviewing two of them, hinted that such mass production could come only from a factory, implied that A. A. Fair, Gardner's best-known pseudonym, was a real, live ghost. After Gardner's indignant publishers, William Morrow & Co., all but put Lawyer Perry Mason on the case, the newspaper this week politely allowed that it had erred. Just to make sure that its author will not be thus dematerialized again, Morrow has posted a $100,000 reward...

A bouncy man of 40, Paco was born Francisco Rubiales, got his start as a bullfight critic by taking the pseudonym Malgesto (meaning grimace) and unashamedly plagiarizing the work of Mexico's most popular critics. "So I be gan with 40 years' experience, though I was only 21 years old," says Paco. From newspapering he ad-glibbed his way into radio, mostly reporting sporting events to sports-happy Mexicans. When TV arrived in force seven years ago, Pace's genial personality went with the small screen the way a hot sauce goes with enchiladas...
