Slow & Painful. A regular contributor to magazines-one of his articles was a major critique of automobile safety, which inspired one of his Labor Department coworkers, Ralph Nader-Moynihan wrote a piece on Democratic politics that attracted Sociologist Nathan Glazer, who asked him to write a chapter on the Irish for a book on New York's ethnic groups, Beyond the Melting Pot. With the same careful eye that he was later to focus on the Ne gro family, Moynihan surveyed his own brethren, and found that Irish progress in America by most standards has been slow and painful...
...Museum, of which Dr. Nathan I. Huggins is chairman and J. Marcus Mitchell curator, has just opened a substantial new exhibition, divided between the visual arts and documentary materials. Among the former is a selection of African sculpture and objets d'art from the collection of Kenneth Patton. More important, however, are the items of American provenance. Two of these are huge polychrome portrait quilts crafted by a group of southern Negroes who migrated to California...
...scattered from Boston to Beverly Hills, the Shapiro family nevertheless manages to reunite four times a year. It is no coincidence that the councils coincide with meetings of Maryland Cup Corp., headquartered in the Baltimore suburb of Owings Mills, established 56 years ago by first generation Joseph and Nathan Shapiro. Although the firm went public six years ago, Shapiros still own 65% of the stock and dominate its board with ten of twelve family members, headed by Joseph, 79, as chairman and Nephew Arthur H., 57, as president. In what amounts to a neat feat for nepotism, Maryland...
Peace & Harmony. The Shapiros have a special taste for ice cream, since their $100 million concern began in 1911 as a Boston ice-cream-cone bakery. Immigrating there from Russia, Brothers Nathan and Joseph Shapiro devised a technique of using rotary bakers instead of the single-line machinery in common use. Borrowing $10,000 from an uncle, they formed their own company, soon moved it to Baltimore-logically assuming that, since the weather there was warmer ice-cream sales would be higher...
Because fragile sugar cones travel badly, Nathan and Joseph built a string of bakeries across the country. The family followed the bakeries and ran them as individual fiefdoms. They still are to some extent, although control has increasingly become centralized. Now, explains Arthur Shapiro, "everybody picks the thing he thinks he's best at." The family's favorite example is Sam Shapiro, son of Nathan, who tired of running bakeries and in 1957 started the plastics division...
