...Alliance men at the convention were wan, tireless President David Lasser. 36, and bespectacled, soft-spoken Secretary-Treasurer Herbert Benjamin. 37. Two-and-a-half years ago Socialist Lasser's original Alliance and Herbert Benjamin's Communist Unemployment Councils submerged their differences, merged with lesser organizations into the present Alliance. The membership (now claimed 400,000. mostly in Eastern, Midwestern and Pacific Coast cities) continually shifts as clients go on & off relief. The leadership is also in constant flux, at the moment includes such active but seldom mentioned figures as John Spain of New Jersey, Lee Morgan...
...tenoctave range, from airiest wit to profoundest judicial deliberation. He handles people as a virtuoso plays a violin. Beneath his silkiness lies a mental toughness, a counterpart of the muscular toughness that enabled him to build a cabin on Mt. Washington with his two hands, makes him a tireless mountain skier and climber, lets him work 20 hours a day for weeks at a stretch.

...zaro Cárdenas makes frequent journeys to observe conditions among his people. As tireless a horseman as Roosevelt I, President Cárdenas loves to beat the brush, sometimes leaves his $350,000 Olivo (olive-colored special train) at an obscure siding and gallops off to find the underprivileged.

A tent is good enough to shelter the President at night, but if the hacienda...
...pugilistic freak is Henry Armstrong. A bantamweight from the waist down and a welterweight from the waist up, he has arms as fast as Glenn Cunningham's legs -and just as tireless. He can throw 1,200 punches in a 15-round fight (as he did against Barney Ross last May) and appear no more fatigued than if he had spent an evening at a Harlem shindig. He has fought on an average of twice a month in the past year, has knocked out 35 of his last 38 opponents. Most fight fans agreed that the little Iron...
During and after the World War, Mr. Walter Runciman, as he was then, served under various Prime Ministers in such capacities as President of the Board of Trade, combined the Liberal fervor of a Gladstone with tireless practical energy, plus a modern grasp of economics. In 1930, when enormous shipping interests headed by the late Lord Kylsant and including the Royal Mail, faced scandal and collapse, Mr. Runciman stepped in to help unsnarl British shipping chaos by rapid, efficient reorganization...
