Sons, is reviewed in this issue (see BOOKS). Tom occupied the corner for a year. By day the copy boy buzzer was a continual interruption, but late at night, when the big bullpen was dark except for the ceiling reflections of nearby Broadway's neons, he sat under a desk lamp, pipe-smoking and writing. Fifteen times Tom rewrote his book. Late in the summer of 1954 he quit TIME and went off to the cranberry boglands of New Jersey's Toms River country to live alone in a shack and polish the final version of his Korean...
...designed for the first type. They are rigged for all kinds of emergencies, with such fixtures as oxygen outlets, and this makes them expensive. With every room a sick room, hospital design also leads to big staffs-so many trained people to give injections, nurses to answer the buzzer, orderlies to give baths and serve meals...

After tying and gagging them, the gang methodically began to stuff $1,218,211.29 in cash and $1,557,183.83 in checks, money orders and securities into burlap sacks they carried with them.

...also hinted that the blinking and gurgling neon lights are designed to keep people awake. If so, success is not entirely apparent, for some drowsy lads always sleep through the 2:15 grind, only to get the Administration's axe. Perhaps the aggressive girl who fires the buzzer late in the evening could give it a short squeal before the afternoon exams. This might have the additional advantage of frightening away the yearly surplus of panicked law students who invade Lamont. The librarians do nothing about the crowd except count it, and, wisely enough,say that it would be downright...
