University treasurers have never been constrained by any standard Harvard investment policy but rather have been given freedom to follow their own whim and wisdom.

After two years, Tynan quit the Standard in a huff because the paper refused to stop printing letters criticizing his own acting. (Fleet Streeters also half-jokingly said that he infuriated his boss Lord Beaverbrook at a dinner party by blowing a smoke ring across the table into the Beaver's open mouth.) On Lord Rothermere's Sketch he found the tabloid an incongruous place for his erudite, allusive prose.

In August, Tynan becomes drama critic for the Sunday Observer (circ. 475,609), roughly the equivalent of the New York Times job now held by Brooks...
...forklift, thus making for quicker and more flexible handling than the old-fashioned "circus loading," by which trailers were rolled up a ramp at the end of the car. American Car & Foundry, Bethlehem Steel, Pressed Steel Car and others are ready to manufacture piggyback equipment, and Pullman-Standard has had 500 inquiries about its piggyback flatcar. In Battle Creek, Mich. Clark Equipment Co. is making huge forklifts for loading trailers on the cars...
