...handsome, Nebraska-born Thomas Jean Hargrave. As vice president and general counsel, Lawyer Hargrave has been known as a shrewd, steady, retiring executive who got along equally well with obscure employes and socialite friends. Rochester guessed two reasons for his promotion: 1) Eastman's new policy of pushing younger men to the top; 2) a decision by Eastman directors that - in times when war and Government were big factors in corporate affairs - a lawyer would do better than a technical or production...
...firmest representatives of the New Deal are not Roosevelt or the other conspicuous 'New Deal politicians,' but the younger group of administrators, experts, technicians, bureaucrats, who have been finding places throughout the state apparatus: not merely those who specialize in political technique, in writing up laws with concealed 'jokers,' in handing Roosevelt a dramatic new idea, but also those who are doing the actual running of the extending government enterprises: in short, managers.

Reasons: 1) the U.S. suffered a widespread influenza epidemic this winter, and flu may pave the way for t.b.; 2) some members of the younger generation have not been exposed to t.b., have consequently not developed immunity...
...seen Winnie strut the stage with nothing but a towel about his middle. She has heard him bawl for his mail, his secretary and a scotch & soda all in one breath. She tells of how he took up painting to assuage the bitterness that followed Gallipoli, how in his younger years he had stage-door-johnnied Ethel Barrymore (with little success). But though she is sometimes astute about her idol ("He is 'over-engined' for peace perhaps but perfectly engined, I think, for war"), Winston Churchill remains for Phyllis Moir more Peter Pan than politico, more...
