...small donors, he commends the utility of the Unalakleet Eskimo language, in which the one word oo-too-koo means "small and I wish it were bigger." One Harvardman wrote during the Depression to explain in a flurry of metallic puns his inability to donate: "I am an aluminum of two colleges besides Harvard, and can not pay antimony to all three." McCord's answer was a simple "Iron stand you." To the 35% of Harvard alumni who had never heeded his call, McCord one year hopefully anticipated the day when he could write to them a couplet...
Turning briefly from his work with displaced persons as U.N. Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees, Prince Sadruddin Aqa Khan, 29, filed suit in Geneva to displace his wife, slinky former London Fashion Model Nina Dyer, 32, on grounds of "incompatibility." Married in 1957, Nina and Harvardman ('54) Sadri, half brother of the late Aly Khan, were separated for nearly two years-she fluttering around Paris, he roaming from Arab sheikdoms to Congolese refugee camps for the U.N. Sadri's lawyer, aware that it cost German-born Steel Heir Baron Heinrich von Thyssen more than...

Jenney, 43, whose 150-year-old Jenney Manufacturing Co. makes its money selling gasoline at 600 service stations throughout New England. Harvardman ('41) Jenney concedes that his appeal runs against his company's immediate self-interest, but argues that uncontrolled auto traffic will ultimately strangle Boston "and if the city doesn't do well, all business will suffer...
...When he was named chairman of Allied Chemical Corp. (1960 sales: $766 million) two years ago, Harvardman Kerby H. Fisk, 58, had spent most of his career in the Prudential Insurance Co., knew little about chemicals. But Allied's board decided that the cool, analytical Fisk was the man to put some snap back into their company which for a decade had been falling behind Dow and Monsanto. Last week Fisk announced plans to swap $350 million in Allied stock to acquire Union Texas Natural Gas Corp., a major oil and gas producer whose output will guarantee Allied...
