...Boston, Mass., 70, bald, potbellied, with jowl-whiskers like a Russian droshky driver. Mr. Fish, veteran of many a skirmish with old Mr. Hull, and knowing that the Secretary's innocent, suffering face masks a hot-pincers talent of repartee, gave up the witness swiftly, but prodded furious, bulbous Tinkham in to violent questioning.

To lay out the new buildings Architects Gordon Kaufman and Paul Williams were hired, turned out an imposing, 69-room hunk of hotel (late Californian with a Southern Georgian trace), plunked on a handsome mountainside. To dress it up inside, Decorator Dorothy Draper was brought...
...season, Chrysler's President K. T. Keller sent a letter: "We are getting practically no production from any of our Detroit plants. . . . You cannot run a business on a sound basis and produce quality automobiles if men . . . take into their own hands the running of the plants." To bulbous, loud Richard Frankensteen of C. I.
