Reporter Connery's long and careful file arrived in New York to be distilled, evaluated and turned into story form by an able collaborator: Associate Editor Robert McLaughlin, 51. A TIME staffer since 1949, McLaughlin has written in Foreign News since 1957, specializing in the Far East. Besides cover stories on Indonesia's President Sukarno (March 10, 1958), Japan's Princess Michiko (March 23) and Red China's Liu Shao-chi (Oct. 12), McLaughlin wrote the Dalai Lama cover (April 20), which Connery also reported...
...Gates, in sharp contrast, is a stiff-upper-lip Philadelphia investment banker and World War II Navyman (four stripes in Air Intelligence). He went to Washington as Under Secretary to Navy Secretary Robert Anderson (now Secretary of the Treasury), inevitably inherited the top Navy job in 1957. He ran a taut and tidy ship, was always willing to listen and learn, but ready with a decision when it was called for. When a new naval aide reported to him for duty, Gates told him: "Look, I need ideas. I can light my own cigarettes." Says a three-star admiral...
...merits of competition, and a new Board of Broadcast Governors (TIME, Nov. 16) will soon begin licensing private-enterprise second stations in all major cities.

Noisy enough for mention: Christine Jorgensen (irresolutely described by the Register as both "he" and "she") and Zackerly (pitchman on a TV horror show). Left out as presumably not noisy enough: Robert Kintner, Allen Drury, Fabian. Notable inclusion: Cleveland Amory. Says Amory: "Frankly, I don't know whether it's more embarrassing to be in the book...
...strange as anything about the 28 minute film is the fact that its producers -Swiss-born Photographer Robert Frank, 35, and Painter Alfred Leslie, 32-financed it ($20,000) largely through Wall Street's Jack Dreyfus (the Dreyfus Fund) and Stock Market Letter Writer Walter Gutman (Shields & Co.). After its recent premiere at the San Francisco Film Festival, Judge Barnaby (Matador) Conrad declared: "I liked it until Kerouac got the 'smart jacks'-what I send my child to bed for doing." But Producers Frank and Leslie, now busily showing the film to distributors, are confident that...
