...whose position as Farm Bureau president made him leader of more than 1,400,000 of the richest, most influential U.S. farming families.

It was true that popular puddings were as plentiful as usual, with old practitioners like Frank Yerby, Marguerite Steen and F. van Wyck Mason tirelessly serving them up. But 1949 was also a year in which there were more good books in more fields than...
