...entirely out of a good heart (gratis), as you state in TIME, Sept. 30, if we are to believe M. R. Werner in his Bryan: "He also devoted part of his time to delivering lectures for a Florida real estate company at $250 a lecture. Bryan sat in an arm chair on a float and talked to the crowd that lined the shore of a lagoon. A narrow strip of water separated Bryan from the crowd on shore. A large cotton umbrella sheltered his bald head, and sometimes he wore a broad-brimmed white hat. He joked with his audiences...

Born in 1873 in Huntington, West Va., Dwight Morrow was frail, large-headed, stocky, suffered from terrible headaches all his life. His father's training in mathematics early gave him exact habits of mind; a badly-set broken arm that impaired his physical development provided another impetus to study. Attending Amherst on borrowed funds, putting himself through Columbia Law School by tutoring and going more deeply into debt, he struggled to get the maximum value from an education that cost him so much. As an energetic law clerk, his salary was increased from $720 a year...
