A Patron of the Arts
DONALD HEINEYpublished his first story in 1943 while he was in the Merchant Marine. For the next three years he served in the Navy in the European and South Pacific campaigns; then, after his honorable discharge, he resumed his studies at the University of Southern California, where he took his Ph.D. in literature in 1952. Mr. Heiney plans to do a novel based on Mr. Benturian, the hero of the story which follows; and if he succeeds, we hope to publish it under the Atlantic-Little, Brown imprint.
