...baldish, his head lying on a pile of clothes with a white coat over his face. Not far away was another, so badly decomposed that it was impossible to determine its sex. It seemed to be dressed in lingerie. There were some baby clothes nearby, a little pile of French money, a German passport issued to Alfred Rudolph Lorenz, No. 211 Avenue Daumesnil, Paris. There was a bundle of letters and photographs, most of them bearing the name of Mrs. Margaret Wittmer. Soon the Santa Amaro was hull down in Mystery...
...downright boss of the third biggest U. S. steel corporation is doing something more than talk about steel's prospects. Now in the midst of a merger with Corrigan, McKinney and Truscon, he is supposed to have plans for further mergers under the hat that almost never leaves his baldish head, except when he sleeps and banquets. Topping all this activity is a recapitalization scheme which is intended to put Republic's finances on a solid steel foundation...
...power the more cheaply. So the Tennessee Valley became a social and economic laboratory but power is still the big point of the Tennessee Valley Authority. In charge of all TVA's power activities and, though not its chairman, admittedly its prime-mover is David Eli Lilienthal. Short, baldish and a bear for work.

Tall, baldish, professorial-looking, with a prognathous but benevolent jaw, he started out to be a schoolteacher, failed as a disciplinarian. Though he looks like a bachelor he is married.

When he wrote Teeftallow (1926), a story of his Tennessee hill country, critics first began to notice him. Last April U. S. radio-listeners followed suit, when his radio novel, Conflict, began to be broadcast over...
...loyal to its Chamber of Commerce and American Legion, until Llewellyn A. Banks arrived from Riverside, Calif, in 1925. With him he brought his second wife, two new Cadillacs, 40 suits of custom-made clothes, and a million dollars netted from the sale of citrus orchards in Southern California. Baldish, spectacled, with high cheek bones, Banks struck Oregon like a tornado. He became the largest single owner of pear orchards in the state, bought the Medford News, boldly declared himself a candidate for the U. S. Senate against Senator Charles L. McNary, stumped the State in an automobile with California...
