...eating Ernesto Enrique Sammartino, 46, was a charter member of the anti-Perón club. In 1940, the Colonels' Clique tossed him into jail for his outspoken opposition.

There are some big chains in the house-organ field: Du Pont has 40-odd periodicals, the Borden Co. 35, International Harvester...

His intense efforts to please his patrons led to a breakdown in 1911, death seven years later. After that, his personally trained assistants ("the Academicians") and Mimi ("counselor to the management") saw to it that the Ritz tradition was maintained.
