...brothers all attended Connecticut's Hotchkiss School, and in summer, worked in the Rouge or other plants getting their hands greasy. They kept up this apprenticeship during college. None was an outstanding scholar. Henry quit Yale in his senior year ('40) with insufficient credits to graduate, and Benson, a sophomore, quit Princeton the same year. Only Billy (Yale '50) graduated...
...Chicago last week, after 3½ years of legal skirmishing, the Government's antitrust suit against the Du Ponts was finally under way. In his opening statement, U.S. Attorney Willis L. Hotchkiss outlined the charge: 117 members of the Du Pont family-59 of them minors aged four to 20-had conspired to restrain trade through a $5 billion empire composed of the Du Pont chemical company, General Motors and U.S. Rubber. Hotchkiss wanted the court to force the Du Fonts to sell their chemical company's 23% common-stock interest in G.M. (now worth $1.3 billion...
...strain of preparing the Government's case had been so great that Attorney Hotchkiss collapsed from nervous exhaustion. The Government was granted a five-week adjournment. This development raised the question whether the entire Government case might not collapse if Hotchkiss is unable to continue.

Thus, he is virtually the only Government attorney with the background to prosecute the case...
Here & there, in the thick of the battle, police glimpsed a huge, black Hotchkiss sedan with an outsize radio aerial. At 10 p.m. they stopped the car and ordered out its occupants. They turned out to be National Assemblyman Jacques Duclos, 56, a pudgy onetime pastry chef who is now acting chief of the French Communist Party (while Chief Maurice Thorez convalesces on the Black Sea), his wife Gilberte, a burly bodyguard, a chauffeur-and two dead pigeons. Police believed the birds were homing pigeons hastily killed. Mme. Duclos insisted that they were the gift of a friend-for stewing...
...sense, it is strange that it should be so: Arthur Goodhart is a U.S. citizen, who had every possible reason for staying right at home. The son of Manhattan Millionaire Philip Goodhart, and a nephew of Herbert Lehman, he went through Hotchkiss and Yale ('12), passed his New York State Bar exams with ease (he took Harold Medina's "cram course"). But right from the start, Arthur Goodhart was interested in something more than politics or private practice. His real passion: the great common philosophy underlying both U.S. and British...
