Maurice Dolbier introduces A.E. Hotchner, the author of the biography "Papa Hemingway," a biography and account of his own fourteen year friendship with Ernest Hemingway. Hotchner recounts Hemingway's working style and recalls some of their times together in Spain. He recalls reading Hemingway's early drafts of "A Movable Feast," one chapter in particular, titled "A Matter of Measurements" was particularly indiscreet in relation to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Hotchner briefly goes into the circumstances of Hemingway's death.
Next, Dolbier introduces Marguerite Young, author of "Miss Macintosh, My Darling." Young describes the characters found in her book, the same as those found in her earlier book "Angel in the Forest." Both books are studies of Utopian concepts and communities. She notes that women are often the sacrifice of Utopias. Particularly, she speaks of the actions of the communities leader, George Rapp. She describes dramatic stories from his life.
