...income tax liens ever filed in Manhattan-a total of more than $53,000,000. Filed in Newark were other liens against Associated companies in New Jersey for $5,400,000. A personal action for $1,500,000 was started against Howard ("Scarlet Pimpernel") Hopson, Associ-ated's slick, roly-poly boss...

Most insistent was Artist Boris Gordon who yowled that the commission be awarded to his picture without further ado largely because he produced the official Speaker's portrait of Champ Clark. Other portraits were by Paul Trebilcock, Students E. Egley and Ruth Van Sant of Washington's Corcoran Gallery, Student Lloyd Embry of the Yale School of Fine Arts, Nicholas Richard Brewer of St. Paul, Edwin B. Child of Dorset...
