Catharine Boyd
"I was the youngest of a large family in Wilmington, Delaware," says Catharine Boyd. "My mother spoiled me and everybody else bossed me, so I read and scribbled." She lives with her husband, three children, Dersian cats and a French poodle in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. "My sixteen.year.old criticizes everything I write for one per cent of the sale; I'm Beginning to think it's worth more." The White Dress, page 60, dramatizes one family's solution to a problem often faced but rarely discussed.
 

Hyman George Rickover
(Your Child's Future Depends on Education, page 98) was graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1922 and advanced through grades to vice admiral. He was assigned to the atomic-submarine project with the Atomic Energy Commission in 1946, and is generally credited for the successful development of the first atomic-powered sub. He is equally famous as a positive and vigorous critic of education and routinely donates payment for his writing to organizations working to improve education in the U.S.

Photographer Ester Bubley's work is the best expression of herself -- quiet, unassuming, sensitive. Her photos for this month's How America Lives ("Through All My Housework in an Hour," page 184) are typical. She never forces pictures; she knows the picture will project itself. Such an art has brought her nearly every honor a photographer can achieve. When not en route to some other point on the globe, she lives quietly in midtown Manhattan.
