TIME'S political correspondent, no horseman, was misled; but is now able to state definitely that Mr. McAdoo was mounted upon Joaquin, an animal owned by Dwight Murphy of Santa Barbara. Joaquin, no mare, is a gelding...
...Whiting, like Ambassador Dwight Whitney Morrow and other Coolidge intimates, went to Amherst college. But he was nine years ahead of Mr. Coolidge, whose class was 1895.

Ambassador and onetime Morgan Partner Dwight Whitney Morrow. Conceivably General Zertuche was naively reacting to Presidential orders and Ambassadorial advice when he nervously and repeatedly ejaculated to correspondents, "Must keep calm...
