* *I was wrong about IBM* You can get into the mainstream here with a liberal arts degree!' "I used to think IBM was a place for engineers, scientists, and machines. "But not for liberal arts graduates. And definitely not for American History majors, like me. (This is John Robohm, an IBM Marketing Representative specializing in banking.) "Then I talked with an IBM interviewer. He explained that much of the work at IBM is solving problems. So if you have a logical mind, you could go into areas like programming or market­ ing. Both of which are in the heart of IBM's business. "My job is helping banks use computers. Which isn't nearly as technical as it sounds. You deal with people a lot more than with machines. "At first, the idea of sales appalled me. You know, you think of Willy Loman and so on. But marketing at IBM is entirely different. You're a problem solver. You have to come up with new solutions for every customer. "I guess that's what makes the job so interesting. That and the level of people you deal with. I usually work directly with the president of the bank. You get a lot of responsibility in this job very soon after you start. And if you're good, your income goes along with it."

Nature AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER performs her own silent, horrifying deeds. Take Old Fritz, in '"A Flat One": like some "enormous damaged bug," he faces cancer. No good to himself or to anyone, the old man had been kept in that Dark Age torture of hospital ma­ chinery, compelled to survive. The de­ tails of the death are realistic: there is nothing lyrical about catheters and oxy­ gen masks. But the old man's agony, simple and dreadful, makes the reader shrink. At nights, the moribund would cry like a whipped child:

"In fierce old age You whimpered, tears stood on your gun-metal Blue cheeks shaking with rage And terror. So much pain would fill Your room that when I left I'd pray That if I came back the next day I'd find you gone." Until finally the man's will shook loose.

These two poems are already familiar to many. Snodgrass reads them often in his personal apparances, emphasizing their origin in his own experience: in the Navy, a friend had told him how you can rip the face, and by working with cancer patients Snodgrass came to know their useless, terrific courage.

But often he delights in pure imagery. "Matisse: The Red Studio" is a rhythmi­ cal, seemingly rhapsodic but carefully worked-out enumeration of objects that literally blend into one another, like paint. The images serve to stretch the imagination, to reproduce the canvas. "Energy — crude, definitive and gay" is deliberately unintelligible but effective and interesting. Similarly, "Monet: Les
