...artists, Joseph Conrad was a cartographer of the imagination. He imposed color and boundaries on an unclaimed mindscape; when he was finished, certain images and sensations became forever Conradian. Unlike his sedentary fellow writers, though, Conrad roamed widely in fact as well as fancy. His career as a young seaman took him to exotic places, and the cargo of perceptions he brought home sustained him as an aging author. His travels outward were then mirrored by his journey inward. Once, Conrad had chugged laboriously up the Congo River to reach the heart of darkness; later he realized that this destination...

What he had experienced as a boy in Poland, as a child in his parents' exile, then in his years as a seaman and later in the waters around Borneo-all of these episodes taken together created what Conrad knew about human depravity, baseness, degradation, and cruelty, as well as the individual's ability to survive such knowledge.

Says SSC&B President Alfred J. Seaman: "If we had a new business prospect, I would want us to compete just as hard against McCann-Erick-son and Campbell-Ewald as we would against Young & Rubicam...
Four months after being ousted as president of Ford Motor Co., and six days after he had stunned the auto world by taking the same post at troubled Chrysler Corp., Lee Iacocca, 54, sat down with TIME Correspondents Barrett Seaman and Paul Witteman to muse about his new job and his industry. Iacocca's conversation is pure stream of consciousness, leaping from topic to topic at machine-gun speed; it is also refreshingly blunt and unencumbered by modesty.
