...Idiom. From her tenth year through her 19th, the most formative time of her life, Mei-ling Soong lived in the U.S. While one of her older sisters went to Wesleyan College (Macon, Ga.), she stayed with friends in nearby Piedmont, learning the idiom and the point of view.

...Hong Kong and Shanghai. Go-Getter Pawley went to China to see why C.N.A.C. was not coining money. The reasons are not on the record, but he finally sold out to Pan Am again. By that time Bill Pawley had made pals of China's bankers T. V. Soong and Dr. H. H. Kung-not to mention Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek. Soon he convinced them that China needed its own airplane factory with Bill Pawley to build...
