Literary Find: Two works by Ernest Hemingway found among handwritten manuscripts at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston will be published for the first time next month.

The finds were made by Susan Beegel, an independent scholar, and Donald Junkins, a professor at the University of Massachusetts.
Honors: Tennis star Billie Jean King and Texas politician Barbara Jordan will be inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame Aug. 26.

The other inductees are the late photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White and Florence Siebert, a medical researcher who isolated and purified protein.
Next Question: Richard Nixon still has the press to kick around. His new book, “In the Arena,” contains some examples of typical reporters’ comments, and what the former President thinks they really mean: Reporter: “You should hear what this other guy said about you.” Nixon: “This is . . . entrapment . . . . Don’t be surprised if your angry jibe appears in print and his doesn’t.” Reporter: “I’m going to write the story, whether you talk to me or not.” Nixon: “The reporter might be worried he doesn’t have a story at all unless you talk to him.”
Hospitalized: Joy Baker, wife of former Senate Republican Leader Howard H. Baker Jr., has had a small malignant growth removed from her right lung. The tumor was removed Wednesday at a hospital in Rochester, Minn. A source familiar with her case, who did not wish to be identified, said the growth was “a low-grade tumor,” not a recurrence of the cancer removed from the same lung in 1982.
