Carter's wounds do not show; he is too disciplined for that. His manner is cheerful, and he has managed a smooth, gracious transition for his successor. Carter's personal papers filled 20 vans, which last week headed toward Georgia. His daily diaries, which he kept without break for four years, are complete, and he hopes in the next 30 days to land a book contract that will bring him a needed chunk of money...

Nobody is trying to drive Shawn away, yet there is uneasy anticipation among the staff of a transition that will have to come. After 28 years of Shawn's dominance, a new editor will undoubtedly favor different writers, show less interest in some of Shawn's pet subjects, introduce other tastes.
