Where the corn grows tall in Iowa, almost everybody knows hearty, conscientiously corny Ray Anderson. In blizzards and blistering heat, through muck and manure, he has been rambling its countryside for 17 years, helping build for the Cedar Rapids Gazette a circulation of 45,000, for himself a 242-lb. girth and a reputation as a top U.S. newspaper farm page editor. This week 55-year-old Anderson moved to broader pastures. His new beat: the rural Midwest, as a roving editor of Farm Journal and Farmer's Wife (TIME...

His farm page is a bursting bin of unmetered verse, sound information on crops and controls, self-snapped pictures, Falstaffian musings on the "gorgeous gorging" of apple-mulberry pie at Center Junction.

Asleep, she has spectacular dreams, complete with music. She consults a psychoanalyst (Barry Sullivan). In just four interviews...
...Uninvited (Paramount) is a ghost picture as creepy as a rattlesnake ranch. The ectospasms begin shyly while London Composer Rick Fitzgerald (Ray Milland) and his sister (Ruth Hussey) are sitting in a vacant house on the Devonshire coast, wondering whether to buy it. While they talk, some roses they have brought along shrivel up quick-&-quietly as closing fans...
