...Kingfish, in a spirit of pure research, has located him on a preferred list of J.P. Morgan, the financial wizard recently tried for financial witchcraft. Now in the egalitarian thinking of Mr. Long, to be on a Morgan list is to be Morgan-owned, and Mr. Morgan owns Collier's weekly. This was discovered by Huey when he was covering the Morgan investigation for his quaint magazine "The American Progress...
...your own way. BETTY CHAMBERS Mtincie, Ind. Rockefeller on the Radio Sirs: Under People in your Sept. 4 issue you erroneously report John D. Rockefeller Jr., speaking in behalf of NRA, as having made his first radio address. Mr. Rockefeller's first radio speech was delivered in Collier's Radio Hour on Feb. 12, 1928, his subject being "Character in Business."

That was in 1903, and for 20 years P. G. Wodehouse has been quite as well known in Collier's, Satevepost, Liberty and American Magazine as in the London Globe and Strand Magazine. He used to tear off hundreds of short stories a year, but now confines himself to seven or eight, with one or two full-length ones on the side. He "taps" (typewrites) methodically from 10 a. m. until one, rewriting everything at least three times to concentrate and sharpen the effervescent prolixity of his style. Like most humorists he folds inward in public but is seldom...
