...Britain's postwar scramble for dollars, no exporters have scrambled harder than two rivals of the motor industry: Viscount Nuffield, head of Morris, and Leonard P. Lord, boss of Austin. When Lord brought out a new Austin for the export trade, Nuffield retaliated with the popular-priced Wolseley. When Lord introduced two bigger models, Nuffield struck back with the sporty M.G. and the sleek Riley. No sooner did Lord start pushing Austin's two-seat convertible than Nuffield brought out a new Morris Minor. (TIME, Feb. 7, 1949). But since Lord had been Nuffield's right-hand...
...antagonist was thin, sandy-haired Leonard Lord, who had gone to work for Nuffield back in 1932. He became Nuffield's chief assistant, was in charge of the far-flung Nuffield organization (Morris, M. G. and Wolseley cars, trucks, etc.). But when Leonard Lord showed that he had a mind of his own, Nuffield quickly kicked him upstairs to run one of his many charities...
Most editors of the religious press seem to think it consists of denominational doings and sectarian social notes. After analyzing the content of 64 Protestant periodicals in the current issue of Christendom, Professor of Journalism Roland E.

But last week he headed into more trouble: for scientific and medical research, public health, social studies, and "the care and comfort of aged people" he created a $40,000,000 trust fund. Peacetime automaker (Morris, Wolseley), Lord Nuffield is now one of Britain's main armorers, also one of her most unreconstructed individualists. Chief financial angel of Oxford University, he was once so moved by Oxonians' eloquent thanks to him at a platform ceremony that he abruptly rose to his feet and promised another...
Tireless Editor Grey often toiled 16 hours at a stretch before tooling off in his Wolseley to his Kingston-on-Thames home, nine miles from London (he is married, has a girl, 7, a boy, 9, who wants to be a flier). Most of his philippics he rasped into a dictaphone at crack of dawn before shaving and bathing. But last week Charles Grey Grey's dictaphone was muted. If he was for once muffled, however, he was far from subdued. Asked by newsmen if he would work with the Government, die-hard Editor Grey snorted: "Not with this...
