Recently, he returned from a European tour to find that Publisher-Impresario Alexander Sandor Ince, whom the staff called "the headlong Hungarian," had romped through most of the magazine's capital, including $30,000 from Doris Duke. Hiring & firing had taken a whimsical turn: Playwright William Saroyan, hired as a drama reviewer, was fired before he got a single review into print.

She had wed her husband under protest last spring, feeling that journalism was "all dissension, fear and hate," and Jung...
...British-born Anglophobe, Briffault left medicine for the social sciences, in 1927 writing The Mothers, an exhaustive study of matriarchies, and in 1938 scornfully castigating his country in The Decline and Fall of the British Empire (Britons were too soft to survive).
