...Temple B'rith Kodesh in Rochester. There he gradually edged his ultra-Reformed congregation back towards traditional Judaism, increased the ratio of Hebrew to English in the services, this year substituted services on Friday night (the age-old time that Jews have gone to their synagogues to greet the Sabbath) for his temple's long-established Sunday morning observances...
These modest words were spoken last week by a modest man: trim, 6-ft., ruddy-cheeked Charles Cameron West, founder-owner of Wisconsin's booming Manitowoc Shipbuilding Co., who loves to stride around in muddy shoes, greet workmen by their first names-and build anything that goes to sea.

"A good drive!" shouted the President...

From the windows of the Navy hospital, scores of men in pajamas watched while the President shook hands with men in wheel chairs on the lawn. The President spoke to Marine Leo Lopacinski, who killed 36 Japanese in the Solomon Islands before he himself was wounded. He examined a U.S. submarine which had nine little Japanese flags painted on the conning tower-one for each ship it had sunk...
