...counsel for the State Department. This, and the fact that he served his apprenticeship under Justice Brandeis, recommended him to the true New Dealers left in the Administration. They think that he is at best a little left of center. Conservatives were impressed by his lack of harum-scarum economics.

A period piece as heavy as a Victorian sideboard, the picture is lit up, as by an occasional...
Main confessions in Life's a Circus concern Lady Eleanor's makeshift life. Tame boarding school was relieved somewhat by frequent transfers, midnight escapes, one harum-scarum period in the family of a Belgian baron, when she turned a pack of Irish wolfhounds loose in the crowded ball room of the British Embassy...
