...prefaced her tour of India with a fast week of seeing slums and soldiery, of meeting voluble Moslem dignitaries and veiled Moslem women in the Pakistan cities of Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar. Her tour has not been without moments of conflict. Her visit to Pakistan aggravated a female feud between Begum Lia-quat AH Khan, widow of Pakistan's late Prime Minister, and Miss Fatima Jinnah, sister of Founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah. The Begum had invited Mrs. Roosevelt to Pakistan. Outflanked, Miss Fatima stonily boycotted the famous guest and ordered the Pakistani Girl Scouts, whom she heads, to boycott...
...Winter Park, Fla. last week, the year-long feud between Dr. Paul A. Wagner and Rollins College (TIME, March 19, 1951 et seq.) came to an official end. Ex-President Wagner, who was fired as the climax of a quarrel that started with his dismissal of 23 professors for "economy" reasons, announced that he had settled his $100,000 libel suit against the college for $50,000, and had withdrawn his $500,000 damage suit against eleven trustees. After both sides agreed to say nothing more, Wagner fired a Parthian shot: "[I was] a scapegoat . . . I carried out the instructions...

Truman's long feud with Congress is rubbed raw by the President's open assumption that his estimates are exactly right and any others wrong.

Soon he was himself teaching the Honors course.* He also got a job as a psychology instructor (his feud with Professor Dewey kept him out of the philosophy department), and launched vigorously into experiments. When he was trying to measure fear, he calmly dropped a four-foot live boa constrictor on to people's shoulders. "Boy," he recalls happily, "would their pupils dilate...
...worked and scraped to get through the University of Chicago and its law school. Marriage to a wealthy divorcee gave him time to dabble in progressive Republican "trustbusting" politics, but did not alter his orthodox notions about the value of a dollar. The orthodoxy led to his memorable Washington feud with White House Favorite Harry Hopkins. Ickes wanted the Depression relief funds spent through his Public Works Administration on big projects that would pay for themselves, like TVA and the Boulder and Grand Coulee dams. Hopkins, the welfare worker, wanted to push out the money in makeshift WPA projects...
