First Citizen. Nashville's $35 million trade in country music is supported by a bureaucracy as complex as a vertical trust. There are more than 100 music publishers in the city, more than 200 songwriters, more than 1,000 instrumentalists. The town swarms with so many agents that, remarks a singer, "they just about have to wear badges to keep from booking each other." The kingmakers of Nashville are the big A. & R. men, Columbia's Law, RCA's Chet Atkins, Decca's Owen Bradley, but the first citizen these days is Jim Reeves, 35, an ex-baseball player (Houston...

He wanted to be a scientist, but he was more nearly an artist-a type that he described as "a being of a special kind...
...Sociologist Moore, 40, launched his experiment as a result of recent ferment among behavioral scientists, who no longer see man and beast as motivated mainly by the "primary" drives of hunger, thirst and sex. Another major motivation, the scientists now argue, is a "competence" drive-the appetite to master complex relationships that is the apparent basis of problem solving.
