...Citizen Hearst (Scribner; $7.50), Biographer William Andrew (Jim Fisk, Sickles the Incredible) Swanberg swings lustily into the latest effort to explain and understand that extraordinary man. It is an all but impossible task, and Swanberg, who even enlisted the service of a psychiatrist in his attempt to solve the Hearstian enigma, does not succeed. What he has produced is a fascinating, exhaustive and meticulously impartial study of a man whose true meaning eluded all who knew...
From a world-worn valise stashed with his Manhattan publisher, Charles Scribner's Sons, came the last will and testament of Novelist Ernest Hemingway. Handwritten by Hemingway at his Cuban ranch six years ago, the onionskin document left his entire unevaluated estate (including the manuscripts of A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls which will probably wind up at Harvard) to his fourth wife.

Around Christmas 1959, the disease threatened to kill him. University of Washington Internist Belding H. Scribner could have kept Ben A. alive for a few weeks by hooking him up to the artificial kidney at short intervals. But this would have needed frequent surgery and still offered no cure. So Dr. Scribner got together with Medical Engineer Wayne Qumton to figure out a long-term answer
Limitations. Ben A. is probably the only man in the world kept alive by such means and doing a normal day's work. Dr. Scribner has three other patients on a similar routine, though they are not well enough to work. The method is being tested experimentally at a dozen other medical centers in the U.S. and Europe...
