...Phil Murray?" The course of his life was turned by a street-corner meeting. One evening in September 1923, when he was lounging outside a drugstore, a friend, Mark Stanton, sauntered up. Stanton remarked he had just turned down a promising job as secretary to a young labor leader named Phil Murray. Asked McDonald: "Who is Phil Murray?" Even when he found out, he was more taken by the salary−$225 a month, three times his current earnings. Through a friend who knew Murray, David set up a job interview, hurried home to brush up on his shorthand...
...recent years, under a succession of able ambassadors−Ed Stanton, William ("Wild Bill") Donovan and the late Jack Peurifoy−the U.S. embassy at Bangkok had had perhaps the ablest U.S. staff in Southeast Asia. The embassy is still staffed by men who believe that with proper understanding Thailand's drift can be controlled. But they have been strongly overruled by new U.S. Ambassador Max Waldo Bishop, 47, a truculent, table-pounding career diplomat, who in seven brief months has alienated many responsible Thais, demoralized his own staff and created ill will at SEATO council meetings...
Another eye opener: Columbia Broadcasting System's Director Edward R. (See It Now) Murrow, whose $316,000 pay was highest for the industry, even more than that of President Frank Stanton ($293,857) and Chairman William S. Paley ($241,526) or of R.C.A.'s David Sarnoff ($200,000). Others in the salary stratosphere...
...Stanton Macdonald-Wright, a hale and hearty 65, is not only the dean of California painters, but one of the few U.S. painters likely to get at least footnote mention in the history of modern European painting. He is also a man given to confounding the experts. The art critics pronounced him through at 30; his doctors, unable to diagnose a mysterious illness, gave up his case as hopeless at 47. Both critics and doctors were wrong. A major retrospective show of 83 of his oils, at Los Angeles County Museum last week, clearly showed that Macdonald-Wright is very...
...Paris Stanton Macdonald-Wright soon floated into the heady atmosphere of the postimpressionists. Teaming up with a fellow American, Morgan Russell, he worked out basic principles of an abstract style, based on scientific color theories, which he called "Synchromy." The results' first shown in 1913, were curving, intersecting volumes of light, which today take their place on the artistic map, alongside the "Orphism" of French Painter Robert Delaunay and Italian futurist studies of forms in motion, as feeder streams into the main current of 20th century...
