...producer of box-office successes. But even as death came to Selznick last week at the age of 63, he was still most famed for Gone With the Wind, the film that dominated conversation for three years before the cameras ever began to roll, cost the then astronomic sum of $4,250,000, ran an unprecedented 3 hr. 45 min., and has to date made $60 million...

On top of that, the growth of postgraduate education has forced top professors to concentrate much of their teaching effort on older students.
