...hard park bench in Washington's Lafayette Square, three of the nation's most distinguished citizens held a momentous conference on the Rubber Scandal last week. The sun gleamed dully on the scabrous green of the old Andrew Jackson hobbyhorse statue. Serious, bespectacled James Bryant Conant, president of Harvard University, shed his coat. So did aggressive, square-jawed Karl Taylor Compton, president of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. But Elder Statesman Bernard Mannes Baruch-to whom the bench is a favorite office (TIME, May 12, 1941)-kept on his light summer jacket...

...Disastrous Policy." Scabrous French weeklies called Philip Snowden a "nasty little gnome" and worse when, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, he held out for a few more millions at The Hague Reparations Conference and returned to Great Britain as a national hero (TIME. Sept. 9, 1929). Last week it was this same Philip Snowden, now Viscount Snowden of Ickornshaw, who precipitated the nasty crisis, caused London's Laborite Daily Herald to headline prematurely LORD SNOWDEN WRECKS THE CABINET...
