These plans called for the acquisition of a tract of land sufficiently large to accommodate the proposed buildings and also to afford space for hospitals to be erected and conducted in close association with the School. Over 26 acres were secured situated in the outskirts of Boston bounded by Francis Street, Huntington Avenue and Longwood...
...execution of the portrait has been for a number of years open to discussion. It has been contested that the painting was drawn by an English artist, brought to this country by Franklin himself, and given to his brother. Others believe that it was painted at Newport, R.

She was educated in a Sacred Heart Convent and the Ziegfeld Follies, drawn for magazine covers, and snapped one day on the beach by a newsreel photographer. Louis J. Selznick, then Napoleon of producers, starred her; later she met William Randolph Hearst and joined his company, the Cosmopolitan. Now with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, she plays golf, stutters when excited, drives a Packard roadster, has a bulldog named inevitably, Buddy. On the lot a butler and cook give...
