While few people think that every family's health could or should be totally insured down to the price of the last aspirin tablet, there is still a big job to be done by industry. One of industry's most ambitious insurance plans is California's Kaiser Foundation Health Plan. Started by Henry J. Kaiser eight years ago to cover 40,000 employees, it has spread far beyond his own companies; the plan now covers more than 400,000 subscribers, and its fourteenth hospital, a $3,000,000 glass structure, has recently opened in San Francisco. Under...
Immediately following the Kimball story is the best of the magazine's three unexciting poems, Letter, by Walter Kaiser. His poem has a delicate sensuality reminiscent of MacLeish, and Kaiser handles his images well. The two other pieces, The Bridgegroom, by Winifred Hare and The Promised End, by David Chandler do not measure up to it. Chandler has a pretty turn of vision, but his poem is vacuous...
...great, great, great, and ad infinitum grandson of God [i.e., the son of the Aga Khan]." But the days of ancestor worship are more or less over, and in point of prestige, the Harvard clubman has become the vanishing American. Once, Theodore Roosevelt, 1880, could happily blurt to the Kaiser that his son-in-law was Porcellian ("A mighty satisfactory thing to be in the Pore"). In 1954, such fathers-in-law are rare...
Nieman stuck to his guns. The Journal translated and printed more than 5,000,000 words of pro-German propaganda flooding the U.S. (including stories from German-language Milwaukee papers), to prove that some Americans were more loyal to the Kaiser than to the U.S. Government. Journal reporters smuggled themselves into pro-German meetings, wrote long eye-witness accounts. Many Milwaukeeans were so furious that Nieman posted armed guards outside the paper's doors, barred the windows and gave staffers revolvers to carry. For its campaign, the Journal won a Pulitzer Prize in 1919. The campaign also intensified...
Died. Princess Margarethe of Hesse, 81, sister of Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II, widow of Count Friedrich Karl of Hesse, granddaughter of Britain's Queen Victoria; in her cottage on her 250-acre Friedrichshof estate, near Kronberg, Germany. During the Allied air bombardment of Germany, Princess Margarethe secretly transferred the Hesse family jewels and memorabilia (estimated value: $3,000,000) from a Frankfort bank vault to a Friedrichshof subcellar and sealed the entrance. In 1945 the castle became an officers' club run by WAC Captain Kathleen Nash, who soon ferreted out the jewels, with two male officers...
