Unlike their more sophisticated sisters on the women's fashion magazines, the staffers at Seventeen take off their hats in the office. But they joke that whenever a staffer gets a raise or a promotion, she can wear her hat for a few minutes at her desk before she hangs it up. Last week, Executive Editor Alice Thompson was entitled to wear the biggest hat in the place: she was made publisher of Seventeen...
Behind the closed door of his office, headlong Louis Ruppel gave short, private courses in his razzle-dazzle school of journalism. Tearing out a clipping from the New York Times, he bellowed to one writer in his best Front Page manner: "Follow this up!" Summoning another staffer whose bags were packed for a trip to Europe to do a series of articles, Ruppel told him abruptly: "Your junket is off."

As undergraduate leader of the most daring journalistic venture in recent Harvard history, end later as a staffer in the News Office, he seemed headed, before the war, for a permanent berth in the Fourth Estate. Four years of administrative responsibility on an aircraft carrier made all the difference and put the erstwhile leg-man behind a desk once...
