In the past 20 years he has spent close to half a million dollars of his own money to commission and produce new music and ballets, chiefly for the vigorous New York City Ballet and its forerunners.

Psychiatrist Karl Stern writes about St. Théreèse of Lisieux, a bourgeois French girl who died in 1897, at 24, in a Carmelite cloister.

Here, for example, is Herbert Hoover, often dubbed by his critics a pillar of the Old Guard, on the subject of railroad presidents who opposed his efforts at settlement of the 1922 railroad strike: "It was a suggestive thing that the railway presidents who led the opposition had their offices in New York City. They have mostly gone to their graves unknown to all the public except the sexton, or they still dodder around their clubs, quavering that 'labor must be disciplined...
