Short, stocky, genial, twinkly-eyed, Mr. Ungerleider makes many friends. The walls of his offices are crowded with autographed pictures of Congressmen, financiers, tycoons of one kind or another. A non-partisan in politics, he knows many a politician, spent much time on the long distance telephone during both the Kansas City and Houston nominating conventions.

Presumably the heir to the throne used equally strong language, last week, to the Prime Minister. What would Stanley Baldwin...
...highly spiced article of sure-fire appeal to a public which wants its college atmosphere belching fire and brimstone," say the Crimson editorial columns. Quite right; but Mr. Roberts' genial resume of Harvard life can hardly be at the same time "a shower of garbage loosed upon innocent victims."
