...Nash and Hudson were planning to produce 1947 models early next year and completely new 1948 models some time next fall. Ford was considering skipping 1947 models entirely and bringing out a 1948 model late next year. Packard already had the dies for a 1948 model, "new from the tires up," planned to introduce it early next fall. Studebaker, now producing the first real postwar car, planned to continue making it until 1948 or later. Chrysler, which had carefully labeled its present models "postwar automobiles" instead of 1946 models, had nothing further...

Now he had decided he didn't have time to be mayor and chairman both...
...Brain. Jake Arvey was born 50 years ago near the Loop. He worked his way through school into law and Chicago politics. He became Pat Nash's golden-haired boy when, at Nash's bidding, he led Jewish voters to the polls to vote against Jewish Governor Horner. In the Kelly-Nash machine, where Nash was the muscle and Ed Kelly the front, Jake Arvey became the brain ("the only man in the organization who ever read a book"). As a National Guard officer in the Judge Advocate General's office, he went to the Philippines with...
