...counterparts only because it has some technical disfigurement. To the tweezer-and-magnifying-glass set, discovery of such minor imperfections as missing watermarks or too-much-violet-in-the-carmine is like finding a Rembrandt painted under a Rousseau or a mint-condition 1908 Locomobile in a hay barn...
...fifth president: J. E. Wallace Sterling, 56, a Canadian-born historian who looks like a heavyweight Jimmy Durante, sounds like Edward R. Murrow and thinks like Tycoon Stanford. The son of a United Church of Canada minister, Sterling worked his way through the University of Toronto pitching hay and peddling furniture polish.

From the columnist's previous employer, Herald Tribune Publisher John Hay Whitney, came still an even more cryptic explanation: "Mr. Lippmann has felt that since he lives in Washington, he would prefer to have administrative matters connected with syndication handled by a Washington paper." And who else lives in Washington? Joe Alsop-whose contract with the Trib expires next year...
