Wall Street and Lyrics. The Senate was not really belittling Tom Connally's committee. Most Senators are deeply conscious of their responsibility for keeping an eye on U.S. foreign affairs, and deeply jealous of their prerogative. They were genuinely interested in the men who will run the U.S. State Department for the next few years. And the four new appointees also brought up fascinating side issues. A few Senators thought they detected the busy, ubiquitous hand of Harry Hopkins-and the Senate is never too busy to bombinate about Harry. Few had any criticism of Joseph Grew, a trained...
...Atlas will buy any stock, up to this sum, which Pan Am's stockholders do not. In return, Atlas gets an option at $18 on 500,000 shares, hopes the market price of Pan Am stock will rise before the end of December 1947.

...Axis indispensable to his career. Hull's blast inferentially called for a governmental house cleaning of all pro-Axis personalities, a national house cleaning of all German business enterprises. Perón threw some Axiphiles out of the Government a month ago. But others remain. The Argentines' jealous love of their sovereignty forbade Perón last week to yield farther in this direction. But he did something more popular, cleverer, more likely to produce better feeling between Argentina and the anti-Axis world. He loosened the bonds of the Argentine press...
