The genius behind the new Show magazine, which made such a successful debut this fall, is none other than our own BobWool. As editor-in-chief, Bob began work on the magazine in June 1960, after five productive years with Look, where he was a senior editor. Huntington Hartford, A & P heir and publisher of Show, met Bob through a mutual friend, columnist John Crosby, and enticed our hero away from a half-finished novel and a planned sojourn abroad. Directing an editorial staff of twenty, Bob produced his initial issue in September and the 100,000 press run was gobbled up. The magazine, which covers all aspects of the per- forming arts and is aimed at an intelligent audience, received highly favorable reviews from The Saturday Review and Newsweek, and Bob says the "response was terrific." Advertisers were pleased, too, Bob adds, and thus the December issue, due out about November 21, will have three times as much advertising as originally planned. (The magazine is a monthly, and the second issue, November, is on the newsstands now, if it isn't sold out. Take your folding money. This colorful creation costs $1.)

Among Bob's associates at Show is LouMiano, who's billed as theatre editor. Bob says, however: "Lou doesn't really work. He just goes to shows and things like that." Contributing authors in the first two issues were Brock Brower '53 and Burt Bernstein '53.

Jim and Ann Waldman are stationed on Taiwan, and his mother relays word that "they seem to be enjoying their experience in spite of open sewerage, buffalo carts and endless bicycles which make driving hazardous." She adds: "Jim is now working on missiles and seems to find it interesting." Rog Dolliver married Martha Kenley in San Angelo, Texas, March 18.
