...Shoulder. Thirteen years ago, Kup was a $32.50-a-week sportwriter on the Times. Son of a West Side bakery driver, he worked his way through Northwestern and the University of North Dakota, was a quarterback and college publicity man. His career as a pro footballer (with the Philadelphia Eagles) lasted only five games; a shoulder injury turned him into a sport reporter. In 1943 the Times let him try a column. Cracked Kup: "I spent all my time in nightclubs anyway...
Guilty. In New York courts last week, two skimmers of the land's fat got the bill. Grey Marketeer and Lawyer Isadore Ginsberg (TIME, Jan. 26) was convicted of grand larceny (for accepting $1,575 for a carload of rock lath that he never delivered). Gus Fusaro, $50-a-week financial district elevator man who played the market for his friends and lost $250,000 of their money, was convicted of grand larceny and operating a bucket shop...
Paroled in 1925, bald, barrel-chested Charlie Ward started at B. & B. as a $25-a-week laborer. In six years he was general manager. When Bigelow died in 1933, he left Ward a third of his $3,000,000 estate and a chance at the presidency of B. & B.

...Henry Morgan, who last month accused his straw-blonde wife Isobel of not only being a bad cook and a Communist but of lacking a sense of humor, publicly gasped with horror at himself after they reached an "understanding" in Manhattan. (She dropped her suit for $750-a-week support.) "I am ashamed," said he. "I guess I just don't have much sense. If I did, I'd probably be in another line of work. I'd quit radio and go straight, or something...
Woman's Angle. Mrs. Gowles won her reputation as a career girl before Look did. As a 16-year-old Bostonian with a gift of gab, she talked herself into a $100-a-week advertising job with Gimbels in Manhattan. By 1936 she had an advertising agency of her own and was making $20,000 a year. On Passport No. 1492, she was the first U.S. businesswoman to visit Europe after V-E day. In 1946 she quit her agency to work with the Famine Emergency Committee. Nine months later she and Publisher "Mike" Cowles, friends since 1941, were...
