...objection of Georgia's Senator Russell that he had said "aye" but that his vote had not been heard and counted, the Senate this week voted to correct the "journal," mark the bill as passed by a vote of 33-to-32. But this retroactive rescue was slight consolation for dutiful, downcast Mr. Wallace...
...mushrooming aircraft industry, failure to supply airplanes to Britain in time to stave off defeat will fall on many manufacturers, who will also share the praise if the job is done well. In the shipbuilding industry, praise or blame is likely to go to one man: a slight, wiry, retired rear admiral of the Navy named Emory Scott Land. For 61-year-old Jerry Land is chairman of the Maritime Commission as well as co-holder of its tennis championship, casual dispenser of its most lurid and effective seagoing profanity. Except for Joseph Patrick Kennedy, who chairmaned the Commission...
...slight, dry and extremely shy British Minister was not killed, because at the moment of the explosion he was upstairs, probably worrying about something.

Last week Northerners and Southerners could read in Lanterns on the Levee just what kind of memories he had. They covered 54 years of an active, sensitive, civilized life. They showed their author to be not only the "poet laureate of Mississippi" and one of the South's bigger planters, but a U. S. aristocrat in the Greek sense...
