...doddering old Kaiser Wilhelm's spruce young grandsons, Prince Friedrich of Prussia, finding himself in England at outbreak of war, streaked for the Scottish Highlands to stay with his friends, the scrawny Duke and beauteous Duchess of Buccleuch & Queensbury. At the Corona tion in 1937 the Duchess helped to hold the canopy over the Queen. As Governor of the Royal Bank of Scotland the Duke has as his subordinate (Deputy Governor) the Queen's father, the Earl of Strathmore. The Duke's sister is the Duchess of Gloucester, sister-in-law of King George...
...promise of a cessation of German air raids on England. A more authoritative voice spoke on that subject, the voice of handsome, immaculate Air Secretary Sir Archibald Sinclair. Sir Archibald is seldom heard in Parliament. One reason is that, on his feet, he stammers. Yet this 49-year-old Scottish baronet, who owns 100,000 acres in Caithness, lives in Thurso Castle and rose to the top in Parliament as a diligent, sincere, fighting Liberal, is a nailer for work, a respected soldier, and at a radio microphone none can read a speech more mellifluously than he.

...that its guide (and secretary) is a veteran civil servant named William Henry McReynolds. Reputed to know more about the ins & outs of the vastly proliferated Government structure than any man in Washington, leisurely "Mac" McReynolds is as deadly accurate as George Marshall would like his officers to be.

For Herbert Hoover he helped draw the Government reorganization bills, saw them knifed by the Democratic majority, went to work...
...reforging of links between Church and Community. Example: the lona Community, a group of young Scottish Presbyterians living on the holy isle of lona off the west coast of Scotland, whence St. Columba first brought Christianity to Scotland in 563. Declares the Community: "Never again is the Church going to dominate education or physical fitness or social life or the care of the poor; we have Christianized society sufficiently for it [society] to take over these functions. But it is still our work to permeate them, influence them and direct them...
...reduced, first North Carolinian to offer door-to-door delivery with trucks. He was also the first railroader to get an RFC loan. Said Jesse Jones: "Will, I'm afraid of short lines, but I'm not afraid of one owned and operated by a bunch of Scottish Presbyterians." Five years later the loan was repaid. Blessed with a non-absentee ownership (the Blues and their two sisters own all but a fraction of the common), A. & R. can afford to indulge its whims. Because it had wrecks on three successive Thanksgiving Days, A. & R. operates only five...
