...Washington), he had broadcast interviews with U.N. notables over a Manhattan F.M. radio station, served as a tipster for the London Daily Mirror. He had a marked talent for big-name-dropping, and for catching rides in official delegation cars. He made himself popular-particularly with the delegation from Siam. Weyman had let it be known that in World War II he personally rescued Siam's Prince Wan Waithayakon from a Japanese prison...
...wearing a TIME cover around your neck, as a cravat. Reason: cloth designers such as Georgette Duffee of Manhattan's Falcon Studio keep their patterns somewhat tied to the news.
