One of these misguided seuls is David Mitrany, an English journalist and publicist, whose red beard and penetrating mind were the envy of Winthrop House and the Government Department for the two years recently spent in our midst.

In Vienna where he lived his last 30 years he went around in a threadbare alpaca coat, trousers which he cut off above the ankle.
