...great RFC beneficiary, Henry J. Kaiser, bankroll his ill-fated auto venture. Then, at a critical moment, Eaton backed out of a deal to underwrite $11.7 million worth of new Kaiser stock. (The court fight lasted four years; characteristically. Cy Eaton won.) One of his biggest deals: helping the late Robert R. Young win control of the New York Central Railroad in return for control of the profitable, coal-hauling Chesapeake & Ohio...
...reason the merger ardor may be cooling slightly is simply that business is getting better. Late in December rail car-loadings hit 431,938 cars, topped the year-ago level for the first time in 16 months, although the corresponding week a year ago was particularly depressed by bad weather.

Schlesinger. now 41. sentimentally evokes memories that could not possibly be his own: "The interminable meetings, the litter of cigarette stubs, the hasty sandwich at the desk . . . the call from the White House, the postponed dinner, the neglected wife, the office lights burning late into the night, the lilacs hanging...
Also next weekend is the Club's more advanced competition for the Harry Cowles Trophy, which honors the late Crimson squash coach. Since the title was established 12 years ago, no Harvard player has won the tournament, which is on a par with a national amateur championship. This year there are no varsity team members entered...
