Governor Dickinson is a Republican and a Methodist. Each Sunday at the Center Eaton Methodist Church near his home town, Charlotte, he still teaches a Bible Class. Dry and anti-tobacconist, he was elected Michigan's Lieutenant Governor seven times, presided over the State Senate in decent obscurity. Then last March conservative Republican Governor Frank Fitzgerald died and Luren Dickinson succeeded him. In the past three months he has given Michigan its godliest and goofiest government...
...Together with the Republican Legislature, he abolished the civil-service system which Reform Governor Frank Murphy contributed toward non-political administration, substituted the old-fashioned spoils system for most State offices.

By staging anti-French demonstrations demanding Tunisia, Corsica arid a few other choice bits of French territory, Il Duce gave the Premier his big chance to regain his fast-dwindling popularity. The Premier answered the Italian campaign with a triumphal tour of Corsica and North Africa. Returning, he declared...
...Berle Jr. Short, dapper, arrogant, well-heeled Berle is a child prodigy who still likes to head the class. He is all at once: 1) analyst-extraordinary of corporate finance (The Modern Corporation and Private Property, 1932), 2) intimate of New York Muckraker Samuel Seabury who is backer of Republican Tom Dewey, 3) adviser to Franklin Roosevelt (whom he calls "Caesar" to his face), on everything from railroads to Munich...
