With In Maine (Button; $6.95), an anthology of his newspaper columns, John N. Cole, a flinty ex-New Yorker who founded and edits the crusading liberal weekly Maine Times, makes an oblique case for limiting growth. He does so in the form of eloquent descriptions of the state that he clearly loves. There is the January morning when the bay near Cole's house in Brunswick becomes a 30-sq.-mi. ice rink, and he glides across it alone, watching the sun and clouds pass in perfect reflection under his skates. With unabashed enthusiasm, Cole explains his lifetime love...
Died. Lois Long, 73, fashion editor of The New Yorker for more than four decades; in Saratoga, N.Y. A minister's daughter, Long joined The New Yorker in 1925 as "Lipstick," its chatty nightclub columnist. Soon she began pointedly commenting about Fifth Avenue's ladies-wear trade in "On and Off the Avenue," a column that for years she simply signed...
John D. Rockefeller IV, 37. To his critics in West Virginia, Native New Yorker "Jay" Rockefeller is a suspect Democrat from a Republican family-and a carpetbagger to boot.

Marian McPartland, the great English-born jazz pianist with a famous soft touch, will play at our own Sanders Theater July 11 at 8:30. There was a New Yorker profile on McPartland a couple of years back that made her sound dedicated and nice, and god-knows she probably is. For only two bucks it sounds like a good deal--definitely quality goods here. Pray that it isn't a hot night; Sanders can get pretty stuffy. Tickets at Holoke Center or the Loeb...
Maeve Brennan came from Dublin to America with her family in 1934, when she was 17. She has lived here ever since. She worked at first for Harper's Bazaar, but in the 1940s her work caught the eye of New Yorker Editor William Shawn, who encouraged her to do the Long-Winded Lady pieces and stories as well. Her seven-year marriage to Fellow New Yorker Writer St. Clair McKelway ended in divorce...
