A graduate of Harvard who
studied at Columbia University
and the University of Chicago,
Dr. Coles now serves as
research psychiatrist at
Harvard.

He is the author of more
than 350 articles and more
than a dozen books, most
concerning the South. Dr.
Coles is known for his ability
to obtain articulate comments
for his books from usually
taciturn farmers.

Dr. Coles and his emphasis
on "Breaking the American
Stereotype" were the subject
of a cover story in Time
Magazine in February 1972.
