Adolph Lewisohn spent $300 a month just for shaves and took up tap dancing at 80. Before giving his famous dinner parties, Carl Loeb held dress rehearsals on the preceding evening-with real food, real wine and substitute, or second-string, guests. On entering Williams College in 1895, Herbert Lehman, who later became New York Governor and U.S. Senator, took along his private car and chauffeur. Therese, daughter of Fanny and Solomon Loeb, could not button her dress at 18: servants had always done...

Foreshadowing his present concerns, he noted that Yale had operated in the red by $133,588 in 1940 and warned: "No institution...
...Since then, the company has opened six more, plans to set up others. And Grossman has found a ready market for the English pub-dart-board, half-pint mugs, Watney-Mann beer and all-overseas. Düsseldorfs Victoria was opened last week in a sort of tip-for-tap deal with local owners (Watney's supplies advice on "authentic" details, the pubs buy Watney-Mann's beer); more of them are planned for Madrid, Florence and other cities...
