...Englanders generally, not to mention hordes of fancy estivators from New York and Washington, know Henry Beetle Hough as the fabled and enduring editor of a much loved Martha's Vineyard paper, the biweekly Vineyard Gazette. But the paper was sold soon after Hough's wife of 45 years died, in 1965. Hough himself is now edging toward 80. He lives alone in a seven-room house in Edgartown, Mass., with a philosophical three-year-old collie named Graham. Except for Graham, he regards the young as heading into a world far less attractive than...
Chosen Route. In this account of his own autumnal days on Martha's Vineyard, Hough, with great skill and charm, approaches the pangs and pleasures of aging in ways that very much recall Walden's formula: keep track of housekeeping details and the transcendental homilies will take care of themselves.

He had spent the summer of '38 on his native Martha's Vineyard, rowing out in a 10-ft. skiff to play harbor patrol to the steam yachts that visited Tisbury. That summer job held its own symbolism. Like thousands of other English majors before and since, the young Allen was waiting for somebody or something to make the connection between literature and life. As he polished...
Kety said last week from his summer home on Martha's Vineyard that he was not ready to support the ICF in the wake of "serious" charges concerning the Unification Church and Moon although he was unsure of the truth of the accusations...
