Warner, a six-day-a-week studio, kept its actors busy. Reagan made 33 films in his first five years, averaging one every eight weeks. Some of his most confident work was in four B movies made in 1939, detailing the heroics of Secret Service Agent Brass Bancroft. In Secret Service of the Air, he foils an alien-smuggling racket and, during a fight, executes a smooth backflip over a cantina table. Murder in the Air earned some later camp luster with its secret weapon, the Inertia Protector, which is able to destroy hostile bombs aimed...
...work at Dartmouth is done as part of a "personnel" organization. Begun by Professor Bancroft, it was carried on by Dr. Husbandt, who spent the war period in the personnel department of the army, and was so impressed by certain of its features that he took them back to the campus.

Anne Bancroft is Magdalene - the casting director must have mixed up the two Marys...
Sulzberger added that the board should avoid “setting a precedent for revisiting its judgments over many decades.” Yet the slippery-slope argument is not very compelling here. Consider that in December 2002, Columbia University rescinded Michael Bellesiles’s Bancroft Prize after it was discovered that his award-winning book, Arming America, relied on fabricated sources. Were the Pulitzer Board to revoke Duranty’s prize, it would not threaten past Pulitzer winners any more than the rescinding of Bellesiles’s award threatened previous Bancroft winners...
