...Return Boastage." When the two friends first met in 1915, Frost was 40 and almost unknown in the U.S.; his first volume of verse had just been brought out in England, where he was "discovered" in 1913. Untermeyer, 29 and full of enterprise, was trying to escape from his father's jewelry business in Newark by establishing a beachhead as poet and critic. The early letters are full of chesty exchanged praises for each other's work-"please send by return boastage," Frost punned to Untermeyer in 1921-as well as attacks on both the free-versers...
Owing to keratoconus (conical cornea) I lost the majority of my vision at the age of 21. I now have 20/20 vision with glasses, following bilateral full-thickness corneal transplants. I will never forget those "unknown donators" who have given me this privilege...

The U.S. needs, among other occupations, more auto mechanics, carpenters, computer tenders, and machinists. Experts foresee by 1970 a need for 200,000 additional technicians a year...
...determine how men will live tomorrow. And the planner who has the most to plan with is the man in the Bentley: William Leonard Pereira, 54, an architect from Chicago who is pinning more and more of the state of California on his drawing board. Pereira's name is unknown to most Americans, and of course among professionals he hardly ranks with Athenian Constantinos Doxiadis, planner of Islamabad, the huge new capital of Pakistan. Nor does he rate with such a giant as the French architect who calls himself Le Corbusier, or with prestigious Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa, designers...
