Craving guidance, octogenarian Governor Dickinson first imported from Charlotte two cronies: Dr. Henry Allen Moyer, his personal physician; Emerson R. Boyles, old-line political warhorse who had served under Governor Fitzgerald as his legal adviser. Dr. Moyer's duties include protecting frail, doddery Mr. Dickinson's health, driving with him back & forth to the Governor's Charlotte farm (20 miles from Lansing), where Mr. Dickinson putters in his garden. Dr. Moyer also spends a good deal of time behind a newspaper in the gubernatorial office, occasionally offering his patient nuggets of statesman'y wisdom ("I have...
...Crony Boyles is more active. The Governor's official legal aide and unofficial Pooh-Bah, he not only dispenses legal advice, but sometimes signs State papers in the Dickinson name. Himself and Colleague Moyer he modestly characterizes as "just a couple of fellows hanging on to the public tit." Other Dickinson indispensables include: smooth, young Secretary Leslie Butler-who siphons callers so carefully into his master's office that the Detroit Citizens' League once complained: "Honest citizens can't get in" -and Personal Secretary Margaret Shaw, whom, the Governor says, God sent him.

...counselor to the 54th Governor of Michigan is God. In his office every morning the Governor prays for five minutes (see cut).

Basing his predictions on fact and figures of the Class of '37, Mr. Moyer can say to the Class of '39: Two years from now, ceteris paribus, half of you will have jobs. Most of the rest of you will be plugging yet in graduate schools, aiming to be doctors, lawyers, professors, and tycoons. Only four per cent of you- say thirty out of six hundred and fifty--will be part of the eleven million who tramp the payments. And finally...
Like many of St. Louis' facultymen and students, quiet, scholarly Dr. Moyer Springer Fleisher, ousted head of the University Medical School's bacteriology department, is neither a Jesuit nor a Roman Catholic. Two and a half years ago he became a sponsor of the Medical Bureau to Aid Spanish Democracy. St. Louis' Jesuit trustees were annoyed. When, year and half ago, the committee sponsored a pro-Loyalist speech in St. Louis by an allegedly unfrocked Irish priest, Michael O'Flanagan, St. Louis' Catholic Club and Archbishop John J. Glennon were more than annoyed; they demanded...
