The magazine's eagle-eyed reporters had spotted twelve new Soviet planes, some of them comparing favorably with U.S. models. The findings led Editor in Chief Robert B. Hotz to warn that the Soviets are "devoting an increasingly large effort to developing hardware and tactics for fighting non-nuclear limited...

He has also urged commercial airlines to lower their fares and pay better wages to their maintenance crews. Occasionally a company indignantly pulls its ads; sometimes a disgruntled advertiser...
...press covered the field inadequately, he assigned a staff to explore the idea of a business magazine. Five months later, he decided the time was opportune. Among the names considered were Power and FORTUNE. Luce picked the latter because it appealed to his wife, the former Lila Ross Hotz of Chicago. They had married in 1923 and had two sons: Henry III, a Time Inc. vice president and the head of the London Bureau, and Peter Paul, a management consultant on Long Island...
