1929

Guest written by Rip: Harry Baehr and I used I to write these notes and the '29 Up with no complaints about no news and few reports of illnesses. It's not so easy now. Harry was boss of editorials in the Herald-Tribune and then boss of the International Herald-Tribune. He told of the day Kennedy was shot. At 1:30 p.m. Ogden Reid the publisher demanded two two-column, half-page stories, one on Kennedy and one on Johnson, with the words, "Press time is four o'clock."

Harry made it beautifully.

Dr. Bob Fairchild sent us our first report that John Minary died on February 18, 1997. He was secretary and financial manager for Wm. S. Paley of Columbia Broadcasting. Paley gave Dartmouth the Minary Center on Squam Lake, and named it for John. Paley and John were on Eisenhower's staff, and Paley never let him go.

My outburst for the month: I'd like to go to Washington And show what I could do. I'm sure I'd have a lot of fun And help our country too. I'd spend big dough where it belongs; On most I'd swing the axe, While righting all our many wrongs, (Unhampered by the facts.)
