Sockless Guests. Mailer reached his Barbary Shore last week after a monumental weekend that began with a party in his West Side Manhattan apartment. The 200 guests were right out of a Mailer manuscript: poets, prizefighters, homosexuals, writers, Big Beat Allen Ginsburg, Actor Franciosa, Commentary Editor Norman Podhoretz, Critic Delmore Schwartz. Syndicated Name Dropper Leonard Lyons left in a dudgeon when the sockless hipsters began to outnumber the quality folk ("I couldn't see the furniture for the beats"). The host and hostess welcomed their swarming guests in separate rooms, and as the party roared past the midnight hour...
...years at San Francisco State College he joined the Navy and, just before his 18th birthday, became one of the youngest men ever to skipper a U.S. Navy ship, taking over a submarine chaser. Returning to San Francisco in 1946, Salinger became within five years, at 26, night city editor of the Chronicle. By the time he quit to go to Collier's in 1955, he had made a name for himself by stories exposing prison conditions and breaking up a municipal bond racket, and by helping to solve a murder.

His chosen successor as editor: Assistant Editor John Freeman...
Zigzag Intellectual. Following in Martin's wake may take some doing. A brilliant but zigzag intellectual with the tonsure and the look of a nonconformist cleric (his father was just that), Martin came to the Statesman determined to kindle a blaze: "I thought I was the sort of editor who would destroy the paper within six months but would make my message clear." He succeeded in doing neither...
Died. Kyle S. Crichton, 64, writer and editor who once turned out social significance with his left hand (as an editor of the Communist New Masses under the name Robert Forsythe) and social insignificance (as an editor of Collier's under his own name) with his other hand; of a heart attack; in New York. A sponsor of literary pink teas during the '30s, Crichton's political sympathies were shattered by the Stalin-Hitler pact. Turning from somber Karl Marxism to zany Marx Brotherism, he biographed Groucho et al, along with other nonpoliticos such...
