Hurt, angry and soundly defeated, Premier Ala handed in his resignation to the Shah. Then the Shah conferred with his next choice for Premier, Sayid Zia Eddin Tabatabai, 58, white-maned ex-newspaperman and model farmer, who had helped the Shah's father to power in 1921. But the Majlis roughly brushed aside the Shah's candidate, nominated Mossadeq himself to head the government that would take possession of A.I.O.C...
...Limb. The governor's man is, like the Senator he succeeds, a newspaperman. He is Arthur Edson Blair Moody, Washington correspondent for the Detroit News.

Possibly the only exception to his engulfing sentimental regard for humanity is the author (Dorothy Parker heatedly denies the honor) of the cynical couplet...
...modern Socrates who originated the idea is a former Boston newspaperman, Bert Turnquist. In the late thirties he established the first School for Dogs, but soon after the outbreak of war Washington called him to head the instructional staff of the Army's canine corps. For his highly successful method of training dogs for war duty, he received a special citation. At the end of the war, he returned to Boston to re-establish "Canine College" under the name of the American Dog Training Association...
