...contact in Connecticut, Caron described him initially as "a man of Italian or Jewish ancestry, Roman nose, curly hair, dark-complexioned." Miller is a light-complexioned man of Irish background who has wavy hair and a straight nose. Yet, when Caron was asked to look over some mug shots, one of two photos he picked out was that of Miller, who was known to federal authorities because of his friendship with a Mafia mobster.

Ralph McAllister Ingersoll, managing editor of FORTUNE, general manager of Time Inc. and later publisher of TIME, also quarreled with Luce politically, but more often about publishing matters.
