...magazine, still to be named, has an advertising rate based on a circulation of 450,000, and circulation will be carefully controlled over the 550,000 mark. It will cover every sport from angling to yachting, have such regular features as "Sports-week" (a roundup of the week's sport news), "Preview" (an inside look at a major coming event), "The Sporting Look" (fashions for players and spectators), "Weekend" (how to make the most of leisure time), and articles and fiction by staff and outside writers...

It remained for Novelist John (A Bell for Adano, The Wall) Hersey to put his characters to the test in a modern-day woodchuck roundup. None of the people in The Marmot Drive like each other very much to begin with. When Hester comes up from New York for a weekend at the out-of-the-way small town of Tunxis, Conn., it is to meet the family of Eben, a moody young fellow...
Matthew ignores her advances, but in their absence the marmot drive has begun to go badly. At roundup's end, only 37 animals have been corralled instead of the hundreds the selectman promised. Besides, someone has spied him and Hester together, and he is accused of attempted rape...
