...Three cheers for ITT's Harold Geneen [Sept. 8], who proves that there's nothing wrong with ambition that can't be cured by a lot of success. TIME'S explanation of this fascinating man's awesomely complex company was first rate-and your exposition on the question "What is a conglomerate?" is the first one I've read that makes any sense...
Dwindling Market. "A common mistake many young writers make," says Emily Jacobson, a Manhattan-based writers' agent, "is to leave their institutional connections, flushed with success. But with the arduous apprenticeship and the pressure riding on every word, it's often a total disaster...

Yet Charlotte's success was balm in her tragic years. In 1848, she buried Branwell; soon after, both Emily and Anne died of consumption. Charlotte fell in love with Arthur Bell Nicholls, the Haworth curate. Her father begged her not to marry because he feared she was too small and frail to sur vive pregnancy. He was right. After a few months of marriage...
