...enormously busy man who did thousands of helpful little things for thousands of people. He blandly admitted that he had sent officials of California's Tanforan Race Track to see Housing Expediter Tighe Woods, when they needed scarce building materials, that he had helped Chicago Perfume Importer David Bennett get to Europe during the war, that he had asked Major General Alden H. Waitt, suspended chief of the Chemical Corps, to write a "frank expression" on officers who might succeed...
Chicago's Am-Ben Corp. last week unveiled a new rear-view mirror, which it whooped up as the first really efficient auto mirror. Automakers who tested it thought so too. The "Wyd-Vue," invented by Am-Ben's President Charles L. Bennett, is a series of five mirrors mounted on rubber cushions in a metal frame, which can be attached to the molding atop the windshield. With a mirror surface of 70 square inches and a 180° arc of vision, a driver can see cars behind to the right & left as well as straight back. Bennett...
...scene is the 1880s, when France had just shipped the Statue of Liberty (in 200-odd cases) to the U.S. The plot concerns a circulation war over the statue between Joseph Pulitzer's N.Y.

The customary hocus-pocus leads to the customary happy ending...
These cap-and-gowners, Shirley M. Gallup, Doris B. Bennett, Martha K. Caires, Edith L. Stone, and eight other classmates last week received the first M.D. degrees ever awarded to women by Harvard Medical School. At graduation, they were the symbolical victors of a century-long battle. It was in 1847 that the first woman began trying to get into the medical school; but Harvard would have none of her, nor of any women thereafter (one reason: too many medical women graduates never bothered to practice). Finally, in 1945, when the wartime shortage of doctors had become acute, Harvard relented...
...composer (Robert Russell Bennett) had tried to dignify the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball club with a Symphony in D (TIME, May 26, 1941). Last year George (Tubby the Tuba) Kleinsinger had the Metropolitan Opera's Robert Merrill warbling his Brooklyn Baseball Cantata. Last week, all such pretenses of musical dignity were gone, but with two new tunes in their bat box, the National League's colorful Dodgers were slugging hard in the jump, jive and jukebox league...
