...this forced choice caused little or no worry. Kuhn, Loeb & Co.-according to the testimony of Partner Otto Kahn at a hearing a year and a half ago-are primarily wholesalers of securities. It requires no great stretch of the imagination to picture Kuhn. Loeb's senior partner, Felix Warburg, presiding at a meeting at which the firm decides without any heartburnings to give up its banking business. A like amount of imagination would serve for Goldman. Sachs. And it requires no imagination whatever to picture Dillon. Read and Lehman Brothers renouncing the banking business, for neither firm takes...
...Alfrede praestantissime, felix ille miles." (Most illustrious Alfred, thou happy warrior). Thus was Alfred E. Smith addressed by R. S.

Felix Frankfurter stayed long enough in Washington to gain the respect of President Wilson (who called him from Harvard in 1918 to head the War Labor Policies Board) and, more important, the lasting friendship of Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Delano...
...with pride to the way he sent his pupils home to wrangle for weeks over one of his neat, sharp questions. Put in an abrupt, jerky voice, they were usually questions of broad social significance. Public-minded, unselfish, a disciple of Liberals Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis Dembitz Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter has turned down a seat on the Massachusetts Supreme Court and partnerships in firms worth $200,000 a year. Now 50, a man with a perpetually crisp, alert expression, and a charming wife, he will take a leave of absence next year...
