Into the White House one day last week, past the iron gates, buzzed busy Ed Stettinius, just off the plane from San Francisco. His grey homburg was at a jaunty angle, his humor good. Twenty minutes later he emerged with happy tidings. President Truman, he announced, would visit the San Francisco conference...
...Parade. Grey Navy buses, taxis, Army cars, private limousines delivered the nobodies and the somebodies. A remarkably small crowd, no more than 600 in all, stood placidly behind the police ropes. Shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser, mildly astonishing in a new, statesmanlike Homburg, and Mrs. Kaiser stomped up the narrow isle of faces, and into the Opera House.

An unshakable bachelor, he loved to cook, never drank, is said to have worn the same black Homburg hat from 1912 to 1938. Almost every year there was a small Hartley exhibition, and a few pictures were sold. His steady industry also resulted in three volumes of sincere verse (Twenty-Five Poems; Androscoggin; Sea Burial), and a book of essays (Adventures in the Arts). His hobbies were concocting perfumes, collecting Coptic textiles...
