...long been the dream of many a Lutheran-a dream partly realized in 1918, when several Lutheran bodies were merged into the United Lutheran Church, largest (1,599,102 baptized members) in the land. Last week United Lutherans held their 11th biennial conference in Baltimore. As always, they elected bald, goateed, precise Dr. Frederick Hermann Knubel of Manhattan to be their president. As always, Dr. Knubel, now 68, accepted...
...Boston's hoary monuments to Brahmin gentility, that still stands like the Great Pyramid, is the Boston Symphony Orchestra. At its Friday afternoon concerts in venerable Symphony Hall, bald, spade-bearded oldsters and their classically corseted wives sit complacently, laved in the patrician strains of Beethoven and Brahms. So have they sat every week since the late Major Henry Lee Higginson, in 1881, materialized the expensive idea that Boston ought to have a good symphony orchestra. That idea cost Major Higginson a million dollars...
...goes that Editor Scott was in the East when he first learned of the "betrayal," dashed across the continent, and wiped up the office floor with his partner's pint-sized frame. Present day Scotts and Pittocks are noticeably cool toward each other. Most embittered has been big, bald, son Leslie M. Scott, President of Portland's chamber of commerce who took part in conferences leading up to last week's changes as representative of the 230 Oregonian shares that Harvey Scott left to his four children. Leslie Scott has an ambition to fill his father...
...Ding and Dong in their race for Democratic nomination to the House for a Baltimore district last fortnight were bald-headed Representative Vincent L. Palmisano, 55, and black-thatched Thomas d'Alesandro, 35. Mr. Palmisano last week looked like the loser by perhaps 50 votes out of 25,000. As much interested in the outcome as Baltimoreans were residents of the District of Columbia. For as chairman of the House District of Columbia Committee since last April, Mr. Palmisano has been "Mayor of Washington." District of Columbians have been agitating for years, lately with vigor, for the right...
...Madness. True to the best tradition of collaborators, Rodgers & Hart are not at all alike. Trim, afluent-looking, father-of-a-family Richard Rodgers (who at 36 is getting grey) supplies the method in their work: tiny, swarthy, cigar-chewing Bachelor Lorenz Hart (who at 43 is getting bald), the madness. Dick Rodgers lives with his attractive wife in a duplex apartment in Manhattan's swanky East 77th Street, summers at smart Sands Point, Long Island, gives formal dinner parties, draws a bid to the famed Charles Shipman Paysons' (the former Joan Whitney) Fourth of July parties, hobnobs...
