...does a man write a bestselling historical novel fit for a movie version? Before a Boston TV camera last week five nimble minds tossed ideas back and forth for such a book glorifying President Chester Alan Arthur, whose plain life left plenty of room for fictional embroidery. The object: to demonstrate "brainstorming" (TIME, Feb. 18), a technique of group creativity that joins a lot of brains into assault on a single problem or concept. The brainstormers-two professors, an inventor, a hospital director and Cartoonist Al Capp-also laid down some amusing spoofs, e.g., a Chinese friend comforts Arthur...

Hampered by a so-so team, Chet manages to shake loose an average 29 points a game with set shots from outside, or driving lay-ups. All season he has been right up among...
Others, however, have not been able to view the matter equally dispassionately. Raymond Moley, writing in Newsweek, has implied that Harvard should not have given this honor to a man whose discretion has been challenged. Mr. Moley, citing Adlai Stevenson, Chester Bowles, and Hugh Gaitskell, the last three Godkin lecturers, further implies that Harvard "is more concerned with repairing damaged careers than in the more prosaic task of pursuing and disseminating the truth."
