Founder Hershey spends much time walking through his plants and recreation parks. While this is his chief exercise, he would never walk for health alone; always he is inspecting.

He has another negative habit: he rarely signs his name, writing no personal checks or letters. A man who has known him 35 years has not seen Mr. Hershey's signature more than ten times.? He goes...

...Eyes on Russia, 32 selected pictures are accompanied by running comments from under the black cloth. Sprightly travelog, philosophy, technique, anecdotes focus the view through the ground glass. In front of Bourke-White's sympathetic but anastigmatic eye files the Five-Year cake-walk-agricultural, industrial, probably unworkable. The spirit of the proletariat was irresistible; but industrial idealism, sauced with scarce goods and inefficient service, she found hard to swallow whole. Living on cold canned beans, on "hard" trains that gave her few transports, she loved the Great Experiment with a grain of salt...
