...recast Esquire is the man who made the mold in the first place: furrow-browed, loquacious Arnold Gingrich, 54, founding editor and present publisher. Gingrich was just 29 in 1933 when he put together the first issue of the magazine with a pair of Chicago men's-wear trade publishers named David A. Smart and William H. Weintraub.

Gruffed Murrow: "I have neither the intention nor the appetite to run for elective office," would not deny that more persuasion might change his mind. Added Murrow's good friend, New York Governor Averell Harriman (who has approved former Air Force Secretary Thomas K. Finletter): "It would be an interesting thing...
