...Leonard, Laura Sherry--and H. M. Jones, the latter already the author of "A Little Book of Local Verse." When Jones received his M.A. at Chicago University in 1915, regionalism was especially strong there, with Harry Hansen, a rising young reviewer on the Chicago News and a group of brilliant young Harvard men at the University. H. M. J. studied with these men; he also served as Hamlin Garland's secretary, and "A Son of the Middle Border" was written on his typewriter...
...Truman had bigger ideas. In selecting the Committee's chief counsel, he rejected all political recommendations, went instead to Attorney General (now Justice) Robert H. Jackson for advice. Thus he got a top-flight investigator: rotund, brilliant, young Hugh Fulton, a Justice Department prosecutor who had sent Howard C. Hopson, head of Associated Gas & Electric Corp., to prison...

His book is illustrated by the brilliant Polish draftsman Feliks Topolski (TIME, Jan. 4). All of which makes for no mean addition to Conradiana...

During 1942 "Mejoral es mejor," Sterling's new slogan, poured from 230 radio stations in 7,000 half-hour programs, 5,200 quarter-hours, 4,700,000 spot announcements. (In parrot-loving Mexico one brilliant radio plot backfired: at a contest offering prizes for the first parrot to say "Mejoral es mejor" over the air, all the parrots got mike fright.) Mejoral religious calendars (which devout Latin Americans love-see cut), joke books, pamphlets on how to love, how to read a horoscope, how to recognize...
Bill Palson led the list of Harvard high-scorers, capping the 1000 at 2:26.4, while his teammates Tim Coggeshall and Cliff Downer followed closely in the same event in a brilliant sweep which put the Crimson well out in the lead. Substantial scores had already been piled up by Jack Hunter and Eddie Smith by their action in the hurdles, plus the swift stepping of Moe Young in the dash...
