...friend called "an eccentric orbit." Shrugging off the wealthy, wellborn friends who warned him that politics was "low," he joined Manhattan's 21st District Republican Club, got elected and re-elected to three rambunctious years in the lower house of the .New York State legislature. In the winter of 1884 T.R.'s wife Alice died in childbirth, and he headed west to the solace of the silent spaces of the North Dakota Territory. "Black care," he said, "rarely sits behind a rider whose pace is fast enough." There T.R. ran the Maltese Cross and Elkhorn cattle ranches...

Nor is there time for movies, dances and other teen-age pastimes. All winter, the Konradses spend their spare moments at a wearing routine of bodybuilding exercises. All summer, they swim and swim and swim some more-always in pools, always under the critical eye of young (24) Coach Don Talbot...
Died. Henry Bruère, 76, longtime president of Manhattan's Bowery Savings Bank, dollar-a-year man in F.D.R.'s first Administration, adviser to New York mayors over a span of five decades; in Winter Park, Fla. Bruère, who gave New York its first budget system, was named city chamberlain in 1914, resigned after two year because he thought his $12,000-a-year office should be abolished (it was, 20 years later). Turning to banking at 45, he became president of the world's largest mutual savings bank...
