...pretty good" as a guide to what to publish and what to let perish. Among the manuscripts that Mary Hemingway may or may not ever release: The Dangerous Summer, a chronicle of the 1959 Spanish bullfighting season excerpted last year in LIFE; recollections of the literary denizens of 1920s Paris; and a novel described by Hemingway himself as "a big one all about the land...
...prediction was wrong. One of the reasons is a cadre of dedicated white teachers whose careers go back to the 1920s-old hands such as Biology Teacher Rebekah Leibengood, English Teacher Virginia Oldham and Coach Harry Slaymaker.

At night, if she has no date, she paints ("almost always little girls," says a friend, "and they almost always end up looking like her") or sits in her red swing and listens to 1920s records. On weekends, she does dutifully the chores of a not-yet star: she packs up her 40-lb. dress and dances the Charleston (In Person!) at Kupcinet's Harvest Moon Festival in Chicago or at the annual Palm Springs Police Association Show.
