THE COVER: The fleet's out, but two trim runabouts, blonde and brunette, remain at the yacht-club pier. This evening after work the girls will be besieged for dates by the young men now frittering away the afternoon in sailboats. How long, artist GEORGE HUGHES wonders, before some bright guy discovers that he who helps peel potatoes while the sun shines fares better when the moon comes up?

BILLIE SOL'S NEMESIS. The year 1960 was go-go-go for young Oscar Griffin Jr.: He won four major awards from the Texas Press Association for his editing of the Canyon News; he accepted a job from the Pecos Independent and Enterprise; and he developed an ulcer. Two years later Griffin uncovered the facts which precipitated the downfall of Mr. Pecos himself -- the flamboyant Billie Sol Estes. News correspondents swarmed into Pecos, Oscar Griffin became a celebrity and his ulcer started acting up again. When it calmed down, we persuaded Griffin to write his exclusive story, telling how the Independent got the goods on Billie Sol.
OTHER BY-LINES. What blight-free spot in AMERICA THE UGLY does blight-hater Stewart Alsop head for on his vacations? Says Alsop: "Aspen, Colorado."... Two of R. M. Marshall's sons were killed in World War II and the third was wounded. "The tragic knowledge of what his boys faced up to," says Marshall's collaborator, writer William Gill, makes him especially concerned about the softness of today's youth."... George Scullln, 17 years a free-lancer, reports on Rudy Vallee's showbusiness comeback. . . . American yachtsman W. A. Powers tells how Australian yachtsmen plan to cop the America's Cup.... Charlotte and Denis Plimmer, a man-and-wife writing team, are Americans who live in London.... Ray Bradbury has a close friend who, like the hero of his tale, makes monsters for movies. . . . Steve McNeil, author of 91 Post stories, is now in Hollywood writing screenplays. . . . The Post's new chief editorial writer is William K. Goolrick, aged 41, formerly of National Geographic and L fe magazines. A World War II reserve (see the lead editorial on page 74), he won a Silver Star as an intelligence officer on Gen.
