Antony Knebworth's lines were cast in pleasant places. He was born the eldest son of the Earl of Lytton, in a pre-War England that might well have seemed his family's garden. His godfather, Edward VII, confirmed the prestige of his birth; his fairy godmothers gave him health, wealth, happiness. Sargent made a drawing of him as a six-year-old. He soon delighted his parents by giving precocious signs of being a sportsman. At the age of 8 he took a 7½-hr. ski trip in Switzerland with his father, successfully negotiating...

For 1935 the company reported profits of nearly $12,000,000, best figure since 1929 and a whopping increase over the measly $189,000 reported for 1934. In the three years before that, Westinghouse piled up $20,000,000 worth of deficits, and its stock sold as low as $15 per share. Last week Westinghouse...

Radio ads have a terrible effect, on me at any rate...
