That left the Communists as the only major group operating as a political party in Iraq. Embarrassed and unready for any open test, the Communists tried to say that the National Democrats had misinterpreted Kassem's wishes. Thereupon, Kassem called a press conference to say that he still opposed "political party activities during the transitional period." And though he said it with a smile, his meaning was plain: "Any group that works against this I would consider as having committed an act of conspiracy against the government."

With his flair for drama, Griswold pulled Massachusetts Investors Trust through a major test in 1932. Despite the fund's respectable performance in the crash, the idea persisted that it could not handle a run on its shares. When a Boston bank was forced to cash in 40,000 M.I.T. shares held as collateral, it called up Griswold, advised him that it would deliver the blow gently by selling over a period of several weeks.
