...last five years, Principal Harrell has been worrying a good deal about things like that. A twangy, kindly man of 56, raised on a Texas farm, he has become a sort of patriarch to the people living in some of the more dismal patches of West Dallas. Statistics tell part of the West Dallas problem. Spread out along the bottom lands of the Trinity River, it is a dreary settlement of native whites, Negroes and Mexicans jammed into row upon row of one-and two-room shacks -some 25,000 people-mostly without plumbing of any kind. In West Dallas...
...Hearst-owned monthly (TIME, April 28, 1947). Bull's successor, Paris-born Baron Nicolas de Gunzburg, didn't make the grade.

As it was, by doing its own negotiating, Pan American had to offer nothing but air service...
...regulated industry-he has also managed to keep a maximum of freedom because, as one politico commented: Trippe has not wasted his time and strength fighting regulation; he has learned to make it work for him. He did well under a Republican administration, did even better under the New Deal. His political fences are always carefully tended. Pan Am Vice President Pryor, onetime Republican national committeeman from Connecticut, knows his way round G.O.P. circles in Washington. On the Democratic side, Pan Am has Vice President J. Carroll Cone, onetime Army pilot and all-around air expert, who campaigned and raised...
