Newberry the Naval and Social Expert
James A. Edgerton profiles Newberry the new secretary of the navy, describing his rise from assistant secretary, wealth, Yale education, and close ties to Theodore Roosevelt. The piece covers his social influence in Washington, four homes, family, career in business, and his reputation as a doer with a broad temperament. It notes his three hobbies as yachts, cars, and battleships, and recounts a tale of him swabbing the Yosemite's deck to illustrate his hands on leadership.
