...impulse put Waldo Peirce on a cattle boat with his Harvard friend John Reed in 1911, and a later impulse sent him overside with a splash to swim back to Boston in what has become a classic change of heart. Huge, flat-nosed, bearded Painter Peirce. now 52, is still unpredictable though married for the third time and the father of twins. In Bangor, Me., last week he went out fishing while Manhattan's Midtown Galleries waited feverishly for new paintings to include in its "retrospective" exhibition of Peirces, to run through September...
Ferdinand ("Freddie") Fisher, 34, was born and reared on a farm near Garnavillo, Iowa. His father, whom he still calls "the best butter maker in Iowa," wanted him to play the piano, compromised on a clarinet, but Freddie says he always broke the reed just before school band practice.

Moreover, Kentucky is already represented on the bench by reactionary old James Clark McReynolds-at this thought Franklin Roosevelt may well have gritted his teeth...
Commonwealth has as yet given no John Reed, nor even a Heywood Broun, to the Cause, and in recent years its internal troubles have griped it more than the occasional forays of its students and teachers into areas of labor strife have irritated capitalists. Five years ago two-thirds of Commonwealth's student body went on strike, presumably because the institution's brand of radicalism was not radical enough, and several years later its young Director Lucien Koch resigned to take a job with the NRA as assistant economic analyst in the consumers' division. He was succeeded...
