...newspaperman was one of the most colorful figures in the land. He was hard-drinking, amorous, industrious when sober, able whether sober or drunk. Today these footloose reporters and copyreaders have nearly all died or settled down. The old timers who are left look back with nostalgia on the gaudier days of their profession, but stick to their jobs if they have jobs. Luckier than Newspaperman Broun last week were these hoary and, in their spheres, famed and typical oldtimers...

One product of his War service is that he is already anonymously preserved for posterity in marble; as the central figure of New York's memorial to its 107th Regiment, he charges gallantly into Fifth Avenue at 66th Street. No believer in testimonials and the gaudier forms of advertising, he built up his agency by hard work, has devoted himself particularly to economic problems. One of his schemes made headlines fortnight ago when he proposed that, to stimulate business, all employers give their employes a week's pay in advance on condition that...
