...nine years as chancellor of the University of Chicago, Lawrence A. Kimpton, 49, has had to tame a particularly unruly section of the Midwest. He has hacked down slums that were hemming in Chicago's campus, trimmed overblown courses that were smothering the curriculum. Last week he announced his resignation because he felt he had at last put Chicago in order...
Featured thrice weekly in the sports section of the New York Post, the column often has a most unathletic aroma. Indeed, the Post's newest sports columnist plainly prefers discussing U.S. national affairs to writing about fun and games. On his favorite subject, civil rights, he is prepared to tilt at anyone, whether it be President Eisenhower (for supposedly standing aside from the battle) or Bing Crosby (for not taking a firm stand against segregated golf tournaments).

Chessman was brought up in the Glendale section of Los Angeles. His father was a bitter, disappointed ineffectual who drifted from one job to another (carpenter, poultry butcher, Venetian-blind installer, yardman), and the precarious family income was battered by heavy medical expenses. Chessman's mother was injured in an auto accident when he was nine, for the rest of her life was a chaired invalid, paralyzed from the waist down...
