Abstract

One spring day in 1947, while I was working at my desk through lunchtime, the receptionist rang my phone. For seven years I had been an editor at Harcourt, Brace and Company — located at that time at Madison Avenue and Forty-sixth Street, opposite the old Ritz Carlton — and I had just been named editor-in-chief.
