...Though Sav-Way is strictly a war baby, Saffady is unworried about the future. He expects to boost his gross another $1,500,000 this year to $6,000,000; he also expects to cut his prices so his net will remain the same, and thus save him the bother of renegotiation. At war's end he expects most of his present business to vanish. Then he will simply riffle through his inventions, decide which ones can be made easily in his plants. He will farm out the rest. But he has no intention of expanding beyond his present...
...lights, actually, do not bother the players. The illumination with modern equipment is so good that a man reading a newspaper on the field would find himself supplied with ten times as much light as he would get from an ordinary reading lamp. If otherwise distributed, the lamps in the clusters atop the lofty towers would light a 447-mile highway. The 615 lamps in the Brooklyn ball park, for example, furnish the equivalent of 92 million candlepower.

When he travels he lives aboard his ten-car train to avoid the fuss and bother of staying with people. By 9:30 he has bathed, dressed, breakfasted and glanced at the morning papers. All the London dailies go to the Palace. When he is in London he then meets one of his two secretaries in his office. The secretary is loaded with papers. Among them...
...President and Congress staged their expected perfunctory battle over subsidies last week, sounding much like tired stock-company players in rehearsals of a well-worn play. Vetoing the antisubsidy bill exactly as he had eight months ago, the President did not even bother to devise new epithets. He repeated that the bill was "an inflation measure, a high-cost-of-living measure, a food-shortage measure." Half an hour after his message reached the Hill, the House failed, as anticipated, to override his veto. Each step of the routine was foreknown: passage, veto, veto upheld. The real fight...
