In 1957, for example, Fawcett paid $100,000 for rights to James Gould Cozzens' novel of emotional middle-age spread, By Love Possessed. Four years later the same house paid $400,000 for William L.

Michelson's weekly column on Massachusetts affairs now runs in nine other New England papers, including the Boston Globe...

Blessed with a gregarious charm and intense curiosity, Gunther first won notice in the 1930s as European correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, filing reports of Germany's relentless march to war that ranked with those of Vincent Sheean and William Shirer. In 1936 Gunther produced the first of his fast-paced, infinitely detailed books, Inside Europe.
