...other covers on subjects as dissimilar as Air Force Space Physician John Paul Stapp (MEDICINE, Sept. 12, 1955), Yankee Orator Casey Stengel (SPORT, Oct. 3, 1955), and TV's glib-jib Private Eyes (Snow BUSINESS, Oct. 26). On TIME since 1951, he has contributed to almost every section of the magazine, handled the Sport section for three years (1955-58), and helped inaugurate the Show Business section with a cover story on Jack Paar (Aug. 18, 1958).

Obsessed by the reality of objects, he describes them endlessly, and then repeats his descriptions-a column that casts a shadow, a squashed centipede, the location of a window, of a garden. In one maddening three-page section, he explains carefully the shape of the banana fields, the number of rows in each field, how many trees stand in each row. Such writing is not merely capricious; the looming fact of the plantation's physical existence is established-for whatever readers remain. Lost among the bananas...
Work in the seminar will be co-ordinated with the general work in the course, explained Myron P. Gilmore, professor of History. It will be open to freshmen with special interest in the field, but "will not be an honors section," according to Jameson. He expects eight to ten students to enroll...
