After the war it was natural that Nordhoff should return to Boston. He had been a quiet Harvard man who played a guitar and mandolin and read a good deal. James Norman Hall, the lowan, came to Boston with him. Both hated business and post war America, and liked writing and fishing. They therefore settled in Tahiti in 1920, wrote the history of the Lafayette Flying Corps and a novel, Falooms of France...
...performing the duties of Governor for long periods while Mr. Roosevelt was out of the State. Since 1933 he has been President Roosevelt's alter ego in New York, ramming through the State Legislature a mass of crime legislation, over 100 labor bills, a State NRA, higher taxes. Quiet and capable, Governor Lehman is tremendously popular with his 2,000,000 fellow-Jews in the State-a fact which partly explained President Roosevelt's desire to have him head the State Democratic ticket this autumn and thereby help win New York's much-needed 47 electoral votes...

Furthermore, because a listing on a small exchange requires the same painful revelations...
...more than $100,000,000 worth of investments under its supervision. But by last week its founder was ready for another venture. Mr. Young moved again, this time to another 42nd Street address, the Lincoln Building, where he became president of Young Management Corp. Mr. Young's shy, quiet manner is deceptive. He is a master salesman as well as a brilliant analyst. Only 34, he lives luxuriously in Manhattan's swank River Touse, owns a 100-ft. yacht called the Arab. Moreover, he has very clear notions on how investment counsel firms hould be run. When...
