Golden Boy. The mourning voices first of all were for the President of the United States, regardless of his name or identity. For in a sense far beyond daily foreign policy squabbles, he is to much of the world the protector of the weak, the benefactor of the poor...

...Hervé, a conscientious nonexerciser whose only outdoor sport is a lackadaisical game of croquet. At a recent black-tie party, the vigorous wife of one official rushed up to him, ripped open his shirt and squealed, " 'Errveee, I thought everybody nice wore undershirts!" Hervé managed a weak grin, slunk off to a corner to button...

...different tone-now they crop up because Gross & Co. are deliberately unburying the bodies. To the shock of shoddy contractors, the city's able new school building boss, Eugene E. Hult, recently ordered a half-built $2,500,000 Queens school to be partly dismantled because of weak concrete. Hult also publicized the quaint fact that school custodians, who get lump-sum maintenance funds and are allowed to socket unspent money, have been geting rich in the process. Bushwick High's D. Paul Bishop reportedly got $53,000 ast year, topping Gross's salary...
