...process of bringing a book to market is still singularly old-fashioned and slow. Ten months, and often more, elapse before the accepted manuscript arrives, printed and bound, on the bookstore shelf. Delays menace every step of the route; there is no quick way, for instance, to edit a lengthy manuscript and to check and recheck the galley proofs for printer's errors. A book must wait its turn at hard-pressed printing plants, like Kingsport Press in Tennessee, one of the largest in the U.S. The sheer bulk of books retards their progress; jobbers have only so much...

"It should make for a pretty lively page," says Conniff. Leslie Gould from the Journal-American will boss the financial page; Maurice Dolbier from the Trib and John Barkham from the Saturday Review will review books; the Trib's Walter Terry, dance; John Gruen and Emily...
...ransacks the scholarly journals and attends all the social-science conventions in a constant search for ideas that can be turned into Transaction articles. Since social scientists have a habit of talking in professional jargon and burying their leads somewhere in the middle of their stories, Zweig has to edit heavily. But there are few complaints. Wrote Raoul Naroll, professor of anthropology, sociology and political science at Northwestern University: "It is startling to see some of my thoughts coming back to me in plain English...
