...twelve-yearold sister, now Mrs. Kenneth Schechter. "You know, Sue," he wrote once, "I have been here about two weeks, and already it's quite obvious which are leaders and which are those of poor caliber.

Thus did Mrs. John Slocum, a Newport and Washington, D.C., socialite and a direct descendant of Rhode Island Founder Roger Williams, describe her future son-in-law, Adam Clayton Powell III, a direct descendant of the high-rolling Harlem Congressman.

As a result he never quite ceased, despite his own determined efforts, to look at the history of all mankind through the eyes of a Balliol classicist. Half of Toynbee's contemporaries died in World War I, and the fact made him a lifelong pacifist. He had been lucky enough to pick up dysentery which disqualified him for military...
...judge accepted the pleas because, he said, the defendants "all come from fine families and I'm sure they didn't send you to school to get into this kind of misconduct." He ordered each of them to pay $20 for court costs...
