...remembered his initial trip across the Square, how he had wanted to take a taxi back to the Yard; he recalled the sign he'd put on his door warning solicitors of his full contentment. He signed as he thought of the first time he had heard the sound three trolley cars make when on their way to bed together; of the last vestiges of the Tercentenary in the Yard and how he could never pronounce that word; of the first week of college packed with inspiring speeches that always began with the word "Men!"

Koehler publisher of the Herex. To infuse life into the moribund Herex, Connolly performed a major operation. This week, aided by red flares and sound trucks, red-capped newsboys hawked the first issue of the Herex as a tabloid. To give the tabloid zip, Connolly turned it over to onetime Herex Managing Editor Walter Howey, immortalized as the prototype of all man-eating managing editors by Playwrights Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur in The Front...
