...staffers of the overstaffed, New Dealing Chicago Sun, it was a sadder piece of news than the election (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). It caught Sports Editor Warren Brown as he arrived in Manhattan to cover the Army-Notre Dame game: he was fired, but could stay on as a columnist if he wanted-at lower pay. Lanky, stuttering Bascom Timmons, the Washington bureau chief, picked up a phone and heard it from Marshall Field himself: Timmons and all but four of the ten-man capital crew were through. Overseas correspondents got the word in depressing cables; city-room...

Tired of the high pressure life, he bought a country weekly in Susanville, Calif., and went west envisioning a soft life, a house of many hammocks for lazy lounging (TIME, Aug. 9, 1943). This week, a sadder but wiser man, he sold out; editing a weekly, he had discovered, left little time for lounging. Dragging his hammocks behind him, he is moving on to a ranch near San Francisco, where he says he will write a book to be called Please Fence...
