...immigrant Irish newspaperman, Herbert Croly was the first child adopted into New York City's Ethical Culture Society. Proud, shy, intellectual, Croly suffered agonies of embarrassment interviewing any stranger, virtual torment when impassioned liberals appeared. Despite a soft, almost whispered voice, he dominated liberal gatherings, New Republic luncheons, was deferred to not only by force of intellect but of character. No Robespierre, he had good friends among the Bourbons (one of them was a New York Stock Exchange ex-president). His ideas included a thorny explanation of U. S. history which, expounded in his best book, The Promise...
...choosy Balkan Prince had the last laugh on the proud Emperor of Holy Russia. By 1918 Nicholas Romanov had lost his job and his life: by 1930 not only was Carol Hohenzollern very much alive, but after four-and-a-half years of self-exile, he was back in Bucharest and able truthfully to describe his profession to Rumania's census-takers as "mostly a king," secondarily a "farmer."

Most of them had never seen either West Point or South Bend, but this was their "Homecoming Game." Notre Dame rooters were proud of their team's record. In five games so far this season it had defeated Purdue, Georgia Tech, Southern Methodist, Navy, Carnegie Tech-none of them pushovers. But to Army rooters that record was just the luck of the Irish: a field goal had beaten Purdue and Georgia Tech, a single...
...when the late copper tycoon William Andrews Clark Jr. lost $250,000 a year on it. When the cornucopia stopped flowing at Clark's death five years ago, a group of conservative Los Angeles socialites managed to keep his orchestra alive, but gave it less lavish rations. Proud were they of getting as permanent conductor world-famed Otto Klemperer. While the plump palms of Los Angeles' highty-tighty delighted to honor the Los Angeles Orchestra, neighbors from Hollywood's film colony stayed away in droves, and nobody was sorry...
