With the Ford Foundation paying the tab, Prettyman Fellows first spend two months studying some 600 cases, holding mock trials and visiting police stations. They get advice from judges, psychiatrists, even bail bondsmen. By midyear, a typical Prettyman fellow is handling no fewer than five misdemeanor cases, ten felonies, a couple of appeals and a constant series of preliminary hearings-all the while attending night classes at Georgetown and writing research papers...
Thanks to returns, the selection of negligees on sales counters in Manhattan last week was even better than the week before Christmas. And St. Louis merchants, keeping tab on the exchanges, have concluded that most husbands think their wives are slenderer than they really are while mothers assume their daughters are too fat.

He was therefore inevitably tab-loided as "the Merchant Prince." The condescending title never fitted the round-faced ruler of New York's Gree ley Square. In the 34 years he spent on the throne, first as president of Gimbel Bros., Inc., and later as chairman, Gimbel personally changed the family firm into an empire that this year will sell $600 million worth of merchandise in 27 Gimbels stores and 27 swankier Saks Fifth Avenue...
