...village lad went West, to teach physics in the University of Nebraska, but, when he branched out into contracting, his star rose in the East and he definitely made Manhattan his base of operations in 1890. From his great house on Riverside Drive he can look across the mile wide Hudson River and perhaps dreams of bridging it. With "J. G.," who has now turned 60, lives "J. D.," his son, James Dugald White, 38. "J. D." is a director in all three of his father's companies, but avoids the connotations of "engineer" and describes himself...

When the announcement was made, observers were at first shocked by what seemed the inadequacy of Senator Fess as a keynoter. To the casual-minded, he is just a bald, slightly weazened little man with a sapless voice, a sapless personality. He used to teach history at Ohio Northern University and the University of Chicago.

...mountains. A succession of dark generals led their ebony soldiers to cruel and bewildering victories. Ugly Toussaint, who beat a Napoleonic army, was captured and sent far away to die. Clumsy Jean Jaques Dessalines made himself emperor of the black island and imported two ballet masters to teach him how to dance; before he had time to learn, a soldier murdered him. Henry Christophe, the billiard marker, during all this time had done more than watch the sudden noisy game of war that his people were playing in the lazy island.
