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.

...least gave him a sense of the indifference and negligibility of human life which he could shape into his fiction. But it was only one ingredient. 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. The Congo alone did not suggest images of hell; it supported such experiences which...

...Detroit-based Campbell-Ewald, a 1972 acquisition, have also prospered. The parent company decides basic policy, sets annual goals and provides central services such as legal, financial and marketing support, but the agencies are left to fight for clients on their own.

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.
