Herbert Livingston Satterlee's intimate portrait replaces the spotlight with genteel daylight. A Manhattan lawyer now growing venerable, Satterlee knew the Morgans when they were neighbors of the Satterlee family at Highland Falls on the Hudson in the '80s and '90s. He married Louisa Morgan, the eldest daughter, in 1900, and was a close friend and business aide of his father-in-law until his death in Rome in March 1913. Satterlee's 583-page book, now published after 26 years, is astonishingly complete, high-minded, reverent, and occasionally ingenuous or supercilious enough to transfix...
...fact that store distribution is much cheaper than home delivery has been established in many practical cases. Examples: Washington, D.

Skirling out of Iowa's tall corn fields, University of Iowa students have formed one of the most unique student musical organization in the U. S. Dressed in colorful plaids ornamented with authentic Scotch paraphernalia, the R. O. T. C. Scottish Highlanders are giving an unusual color to Hawkeye gridiron pageants. The carefully selected group that makes up this unusual musical unit is composed of a drum major, 21 pipers, two base drummers, eight snare and five tenor drummers, and four lassies who dance the highland fling. Organized in 1935 by Col. George F. N. Dailey, the unit...
After an announcement by excitable Samuel Goldwyn that he had abandoned Raffles so that Actor David Niven could rejoin the Highland Light Infantry, work on Raffles was hastily resumed when the British Consulate in Los Angeles thought that Actor Niven would not be needed for at least 30 days. Only other Britishers on the active reserve list (liable to immediate call) were John Loder, Sir Cedric Hardwicke and the Earl of Warwick, whose Hollywood name is Michael Brooke. Only volunteer to turn up at the Consulate was Actor Alan Mowbray, 43, who was put to work listing other British subjects...
