...President Bacigalupi is 48, a lean, lively gentleman whose teeth flash in frequent smiles, whose jet hair and dark eyes proclaim his nationality. Like Giannini he was raised in California. He went to high school in Santa Clara County, wanted to be a druggist. But the parish priest urged him to go to Santa Clara College. For a while he thought of being an actor, then went to Hastings College of the Law (San Francisco) and was given his degree in 1907.

But in a very few months after Yellow was taken over by Parmelee Transportation Co., "Junior" resigned. He became Chicago chief of a financial wire service, but the Journal of Commerce needed him, and he returned...
...lately lyric husbands, but some do. Latest rusher-in is Helen Thomas, relict of the late Edward Thomas, who was killed at Arras in 1917. If you have a sweet tooth for idyllic romance you will chew on this with gusto; if not, World Without End may make your teeth a little edgy...
