...Police the Prose. Such maxims honed the pens of such famed Lambuth protégés as Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss), Novelist Budd Schulberg, Poets Richard Eberhart and Richmond Lattimore. The book was long out of print when Lambuth died in 1948, but old grads treasured old copies, and not long ago Adman S. Heagan Bayles ('33) lovingly printed a new edition of 1,000 to police the prose at his Manhattan agency, Sullivan, Stauffer, Colwell & Bayles. This fall, courtesy of the ad agency rather than the English department, the Dartmouth business school joyfully revived The Golden Book...

The Seiberlings had the good fortune to hire a young engineering genius named Paul Weeks Litchfield, who came up with a more easily detachable auto tire than any on the market and by 1916 had built the company into the largest tiremaker.

"It was like getting the first olive out of the bottle," says Thomas. "Doing research on tires, we found...

Border-State Breathtaker. In Kentucky, Democrat Edward T. Breathitt, 38, won the governorship by a breathless 13,000 votes out of 880,000 cast. A protégé of outgoing Democratic Governor Bert Combs, Breathitt supported Combs's controversial, sweeping anti-discrimination executive order by promising to put civil rights before the state legislature. His Republican opponent, Louie B. Nunn, 39, called the order "dictatorial," vowed to rescind it. Breathitt's pluralities fell sharply in such forget-it-we're-Democrats places as western Kentucky's First Congressional District, the old Kentucky home...
