“As for his personal habits: He likes fish chowder, has fine automobiles but does not drive them, has forty suits, shaves himself twice daily and has a shower in his office.” — From a CBS radio network press release on a forthcoming appearance by Ray Long, editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, April 1931.
