...Galbraith might even fit into the picture as player-coach. Next year's Ivy League championship game could feature a head-to-head shoving match between Galbraith and Columbia's other-worldly flake, 7-0 Dave Newmark. We've been told (and George Plympton should know) that the Canadian-born scholar is quite a mover. Fast big men are hard to find...

...moderation, cooperation, and sit down and talk it over." For more than half a century-first as negotiator for the Boston El., later as U.S. Rubber Co.'s labor troubleshooter, and from 1947 to 1952 as the Government's top peacemaker-the hulking (6 ft. 7 in.), Canadian-born lawyer ironed out countless labor spats with such dogged patience that even John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers couldn't hurry up "Ching and his damned pipe." Both of them worked overtime in the post-war labor climate bringing about settlements, including accords...

Nor did that aura grow after President Johnson, during a 1964 TV address, called him "a leading industrial economist" and reeled off figures from a bullish Rinfret forecast. Since last summer, Rinfret has been on the side of the bears, predicting a "mild recession" with no upturn in sight until at least the fourth quarter...

...Parke, Davis & Co., whose annual drug sales have more than doubled (to $240 million) over the past 15 years, hardly needs any drastic changes, but it now seems certain to get a transfusion of sorts. Last week the company named a Canadian-born physician, Dr. Austin Smith, 54, as chairman and chief executive officer, succeeding Supersalesman Harry J. Loynd, 68. No black-bag-carrying doctor, Smith received his postgraduate degree in medicine in 1940, went straight to the staff of the American Medical Association. In 1959 he became president of the American Pharmaceutical Association, in which capacity he vigorously defended...

When Edward VIII decided in 1936 to marry twice-divorced Wallis Warfield Simpson, the King's friend Lord Beaverbrook was one of the first to rally to his side. Not that the Canadian-born press lord was impressed by Baltimore-bred Mrs. Simpson. He noted with a hint of irony that she had protested that she knew nothing about politics and was inexperienced in worldly affairs. Besides, "She was plainly dressed and I was not attracted to her style of hairdressing." Beaverbrook's basic motives seemed to be that he loved a good scrap, especially against the established...
