...Stern and a group of white and black doctors built Flint-Goodridge Hospital, a solid, severe, sun-flooded plant, with 100 beds, complete X-ray and clinical facilities for 30,000 patients a year. As superintendent they chose a Negro real-estate agent and insurance salesman, bland, 35-year-old Albert W. Dent. When Mr. Dent moved his family and furniture into a second-floor ward, Flint-Goodridge had neither patients nor staff. Most Negroes thought a hospital a place to come and die in.

...stuff were Congressional squawks to Mississippi-reared William Lane Austin, 69, still bland-browed, still placid of disposition after 40 years of brooding on Government statistics. He pointed out that much more inquisitive financial questions had been asked in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses (TIME, March 4), that some of the new questions had been inserted this year at the earnest request of business and sociological institutions; that no one had ever been jailed for refusing to answer a census question...

Such...
...powerful individualism, on personal banking freedom the twilight began to fall with the New Deal. The Banking Act divorced deposit banking from underwriting; three Morgan partners, including bland Henry S. Morgan (J. P.'s younger son), accordingly split off to form a new partnership, Morgan Stanley & Co. J. P.'s elder son, Junius Spencer, stayed on as a Morgan partner. The foreign loan busi ness was dead; its epitaph the Johnson Act which forbids U. S. sale of securities of governments defaulting to the U. S. Government. Meanwhile Morgan partners were retiring, dying; from the partnership their heirs...
