Private Papers of a Cub Reporter in War News Tale
A fractured reminiscence recalls a Sunday dawn at the White House with a young War Department officer delivering confidential military news to President Franklin D Roosevelt and the then Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Churchill’s quip about his daughter leads to a humorous reveal as the officer reports his encounter. The column then shifts to light sketches and anecdotes from New York society, India’s Gurkhas, and stage memories, including Jane Cowl with John Barrymore and barbed jests from public figures.
