(Elliott Roosevelt got the agency the business through Cord's stockmarket ally, Frank A. Vanderlip.) The survey was not flattering to American Airways. Legend: James Aloysius Farley himself is Cord's good friend. Fact: Mr. Farley lately said, "I don't know Cord." Fact: Day after Cord announced he had bought New York Shipbuilding Corp. for $2,000,000, that company got contracts...

As Winkler tells it. the precocious but well-boosted rise of James...
