Most thoroughly armed with witticisms were a sextet of "WAVES," introduced in the elaborate scene on the 11:50 back to Wellesley, perhaps the neatest piece of caricature in the two acts. Other scenes did take offs on the staff of "The New Yorker," Wellesley's knitting workroom and conditioning program, Pine Manor, and the date-lacking Junior prom. Sure, they mentioned Harvard...
...this enormous workroom Ford hopes eventually to turn out a four-motored Consolidated bomber every hour. The raw materials will go in at one end; from the other will emerge the 30-ton machines, coughing with life. The bombers will be born from half-mile assembly lines so fast that Ford will not try to store them. The deadly infants will be ranked on a great new airfield, stretching out from the assembly end of the plant, with enough white concrete runways to make a highway 22 miles long. From those runways the newborn bombers will make their test flights...
There must have been an extraordinary meeting that morning in his pine-paneled workroom, with his aides: General Alfred Jodl, the powerful, anonymous chief of his personal staff; huge Julius Schaub, his personal adjutant and bodyguard; Chief Adjutant Colonel Schmundt of the General Staff; Army Aide Major Engel; Navy Aide Captain von Puttkammer; Air Aide Major von Below, and a few others-Adolf Hitler's trusted links with the fighting forces whose preparations were already made...

As his swan song, Architect Joseph Urban added an even more fabulous workroom-a round, soundproof, redwood-paneled tour de force resembling a swanky silo. There Katharine Brush settled down at a 15-foot semicircular desk to turn out more novels, short stories, scenarios of the sort that had made her one of the highest-paid U. S. female novelists and the glamor...
...beauteous Mesdames Ector Munn & Harrison Williams are U. S. chiefs for the pet French war work of the Duchess of Windsor and Lady Mendl: Les Colis de Trianon Versailles (packages and knitting for French soldiers; workroom in John Wanamaker's department store, second floor). The late John D. Rockefeller's heiress (granddaughter), the Marchioness de Cuevas, is a patron for Mrs. David Randall MacIver's American Association for Assistance to French Artists. The Committee of Mercy, Inc., founded in 1914 by the late Elihu Root and August Belmont, has been revived. It helps both French and British...
