...with Mrs. Brady. To North Hills, the village (339 population) in whose boundaries lies the $8,000,000 Brady property, on which it has levied taxes for 16 years, last week's announcement was a shock. In a quandary was the village's Mayor Malcolm Pratt ("Mac") Aldrich...

That autumn a Connecticut motorcycle police-man caught him doing 64 m.p.h. on the Boston Post Road. He said he was trying to get a friend to a boat, was fined $27. Early in 1934, because his marks were poor, young Winthrop left Yale...
