...almost like the good old days. In an 18th century mansion on Paris' elegant Place Vendôme, Morgan & Cie., a name prestigious in French banking since the days of the Franco-Prussian War, last week reopened as an investment banking house. The reappearance of Morgan & Cie.,* complete with tellers' cages of gilded wrought iron, will remind a privileged minority of middle-aged Americans of the prewar years when Morgan's in Paris not only tended its clients' investments, but held their mail, minded their children, and saw their maids and steamer trunks safely into...
...EPISCOPAL INFALLIBILITY. The major achievement of Vatican I was the dogma that the Pope, speaking to the church ex cathedra on matters of faith and morals, is infallible.

Beedle Smith was a bootstrap soldier. He rose to the top of his profession without ever attending either West Point or college. As a small boy in Indianapolis, he listened to the vivid recollections of his German grandfather, a veteran of the Franco-Prussian War, and decided he would become a soldier. At 15, he joined the Indiana National Guard. When World War I began in Europe, Sergeant Major Smith reluctantly refused a commission in the Regular Army because his family could not afford to buy his uniforms. But after the U.S. entered the war, he won his shoulder bars...
