When I joined TIME in 1956," recalls Marshall Loeb, "I knew virtually nothing about business." Loeb learned fast. He wrote three stories for the Business section during his first week on the job and went on to become the section's editor. In 1971 he set up the Economy section (which merged with Business in 1974), and in 1973 he presided over the establishment of a new Energy section.

Despite all his previous experiences, Yates had never slept through a windstorm in such an exposed position not bivouaced on a rock. He had set off "anticipating part of a Mission Impossible chase scene with rangers hot on my trail. That aspect of the chase was all just a game.
