...world crisis developed Taylor shifted from National Affairs and the domestic scene to Army & Navy and World Battlefronts. From 1942 to 1946 even a partial list of his cover subjects, through whom TIME told part of the story of World War II, reads like a rollcall of the war years: Leahy, Alexander, Gort, Tedder, Doolittle, Montgomery, Spaatz, Spruance, Eisenhower, Wainwright, Forrestal, Bradley. Early in 1943 Taylor went to the Pacific as a correspondent to see and report the war firsthand. The climax of his tour of duty there was his unplanned presence at the night sea battle of Kula Gulf...
...From war's end to now Taylor has been back on the domestic scene, writing the story of U.S. politics, labor-management problems, the economy. A few of his other cover subjects : John L. Lewis, Tom Dewey, Robert Taft, Dean Acheson, Eugene Dennis, Richard Mellon.

True as it is that the average club has doubled in size before the war, and now averages about 90 members, there are holes in this arguments. Most members will individually admit that every club could manager to survive by absorbing its share of the unelected students, an average of ten apiece, without seriously affecting its dining hall service or over-crowding its other facilities.
