Her second is to Since it is ihe experience of most writers that the first is difficult and the second necessary, it is comforting to learn that experienced writers, and even great writers, have som2 of the same problems.

In a way, this is underlined by Mrs. Bowen's belief that the death scene is extremely important in a biography, while the circumstances of birth are often not necessary; that is. regardless of the promise of the beginning, it is the finale, summing up a ma n's accomplishments, that merits the greater attention. Mrs.

Bowen has a few words on reviews and reviewers. As she says, "A published biography is a terrible exposure" and the pain caused by a poor rev'ew is nothing compared to the anguish of publishing in the first place. "To the writer a poor review) is about as helpful as the woman who tells her friend, dressed and ready for the party, 'But, my at 100.7 sound in stereo megacycles.

The advice given is specific and is supported by examples. What makes an opening sentence good and what makes it poor? The examples indicate that a precise setting of the scene is necessary and an overly melodramatic tone clangour of mailed footsteps, sounding like a storm of hail. is deadly. Is it possible to rewrite a scholarly thesis into a palatable and salesable book? Mrs. Bowen's answer involves her idea of the importance of plot in biography.

A straight narrative of the facts of a man's life masks dramatic impact. It is necessary to choose lorn the life a dramatic center aound which to build a story. Then the writer must make a mental transfer to the pl'icc and time of his story. He must see and hear the men about whom he writes. Above al), he must avoid the cliches, the quill pen of the American Revolution, and the wolves and samovars of Russia.

"Bad theater, in short, can obscure the best of plots." One very interesting point Mrs. Bowen makes is that, when writing about the past, it is important to remember that, while we know what finally happened, the people involved did not. There was an element of uncertainty present, and it is essential to recapture this to give a The Czech movement toward greater freedom the fall of Novotny and the rise of Dubcek are analyzed by Czech-born, British historian, Z.A.B.

Greer said the music will generally be of medium tempo.

"We don't want to have just a background music sound, so we'll avoid the lush-type arrangements." he pointed out. "What we'll strive for." Greer added, "is a hap feeling in music." A key phrase in the KASE-FM format is, "Never more than a minute away from music." The news will be restricted to one key story per hour, which will be capsuled into one-m i for m.

By NANCY HAMILTON Biographies are fascinating, especially to anyone of ambition. Catherine Drinker Bowen, who has written some excellent biographies, now writes about tiie making of biographies, and among the things that come through clearly are Mrs. Bowen's genuine fondness for the subjects of her books and her profound admiration for genius.

The skeptical biographer is alien to her. She writes in the traditional, genteel, civilized manner of C. V. Wedgewood and Margaret Coit is not, of course, to say that she is not a serious historian, for Mrs. Bowen's EXPLORER (Continued From Page 24) answer a newspaper advertisement for men of high physical standards willing to undergo a test of character and resource and spent the years of his young manhood cn the continent that supercedes America and Australia as the world's New Frontier Antarctica.

Herbert makes readers sense what a man feels when he is separated from his companions, alone "with no wind, only mute mist for company." He makes us feel the sensation of sledding at 40 m.p.h. over ice, goggles steaming up, wind-whipped tears forming in the eyes. With vividness, he describes Antarctic winds that blow away dogs, even full fuel drums, as if they were paper. He describes swirling snow, dazzling sunlight, twilight beauty of sun and shadows on ice and snow. So long as we hear, even occasionally, from men like him there is hope man's individual expression of the spirit of adventure will never die.
