...Selective Service caught them-not to avoid serving in the Army, but to sandwich in a brief honeymoon before they went off alone to camp. On the day after graduation day at West Point, chaplains were busy from 9:30 a.m. until dusk, married 26 second lieutenants with the ink barely dry on their commissions...
...years ago Dave Smart, onetime stenographer and merchandising counsel, had virtually no publishing experience except as part owner with William Hobart Weintraub of a little clothing-trade journal modeled after Printers' Ink. But in 1931 they named it Apparel Arts and revamped it in a slick imitation of the new magazine FORTUNE. Their success was striking-so striking that within six years Publisher Smart, on the crest of the wave, was asking, "Why didn't somebody tell me about this publishing game before? It's a cinch...
...last week, thanks to their business boom and to sale or charter of old vessels at scarcity prices, they were in black ink for fair. American Export (which increased its tonnage of freight carried from 522,482 in 1938 to 933,952 last year, its miles traveled from 1,042,590 to 1,392,391), boosted its net income for the nine months ended last September to $5,895,000 from $216,631 in the 1939 period.

...Chicago late, only three weeks before it was to be played; it posed a problem for Chicago's Conductor Frederick Stock. Musicians' holographs are hen-tracky at best; this one was in pencil, was almost undecipherable. Conductor Stock and his assistant Hans Lange set to work to ink in the 500,000 notations, were soon floundering. They called in seven orchestra players, finally got the job done in ten days. At the first rehearsal, said Conductor Stock, the overture "sounded like Halifax." But its first playing proved it something else: a fine piece of musical escapism, which took...
