The Author

While in Hanover this past month, vacationing and undergoing the rigors of Pat Kaney's physical conditioning classes, Mr. Liebling was persuaded to do a piece for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE on the business of being a war correspondent. This is a subject about which he has written much more fully in a book that covers his war experiences of the past four years and that was completed in New York just before his visit to the College.

Two previous books by Mr. Liebling are The Telephone Booth Indian (1942) and Back Where I CameFrom. (1939). He has been writing profiles and other articles for TheNeiv Yorker since 1935, and before that was in newspaper work, successively with The New York Times, the Providence Journal, the NewYork World, and the New YorkWorld Telegram.
