...Manhattan apartment on East 66th Street is being renovated, and as Bernard Baruch held court for reporters on his 94th birthday, it seemed like a sound investment. He quit shooting quail two years ago ("I couldn't keep up with the dogs, the birds or the people"), but he still looks hale and hearty, swims two or three times a week, and recently ankled out to inspect the World's Fair. Mighty quick on the uptake, too. When a young newsman asked the crony of Presidents and Prime Ministers whom he considered the greatest...
...FREIGHT CARLOADiNGS: Bernard Baruch is reputed to have said long ago that the surest way to gauge the whole economy is to "watch freight carload-ings." That was long before trucks and planes captured such a large share of the changing cargo market, and also before freight cars were built bigger to carry more cargo. Result: freight loadings often go down-as they have for four of the past ten weeks-at the same time that total cargo tonnage goes up. For such reasons, the Pennsylvania Railroad, the nation's largest, last week announced that it will no longer...
...Yale, but his mother made him stay at home, so he went to City College in Manhattan instead. Then Princeton came to mean a lot when its ex-president, Woodrow Wilson, called him to government duty, and now the letters and other documents chronicling the services of Bernard M. Baruch, 93, to nine U.S. Presidents will go to Princeton. With the Wilson collection, and papers of Old Nassau Grads John Foster Dulles ('08) and James Forrestal ('15), they will form the nucleus of a new Center for Studies in 20th Century Statecraft that eventually will also include...
...kids off the streets with hot showers and 50 violin lessons. Later it meant developing the New York Pro Musica ensemble, harboring dancers from Martha Graham to Jose Limon, and attracting some of the most literate audiences in the U.S. While salvaging such once-poor Jewish boys as Bernard Baruch and Billy Rose, the 92nd Street YMHA has always refused to be parochial. In 1880, for example, it led New York Jews in raising cash for "the starving people in Ireland." Nowadays about 15% of its membership is non-Jewish. Unlike Christian Ys, this one has been unabashedly coed since...
Nowadays it is a rare occasion that brings Elder Statesman Bernard Baruch, 93, out for a black-tie evening, but he wanted the pleasure of presenting the President's Citation of the People-to-People Sports Committee to "a little girl" he used to know. She was Joan Whitney Payson, 60, co-owner of Greentree Stable and fairy grandmother of the New York Mets baseball team. The first woman recipient of the Citation admitted a penchant for athletes "with two or four feet," but as for herself, well, she was "strictly a spectator sport." Then, as flashbulbs popped...
