TAGS: None

He was of medium height, some­what chubby, and good look­ing, with curly red hair and an inno­cent, gay face, more remark­able for a humor­ous air about the eyes and large mouth than for any strength of chin or nobil­ity of nose. He had grad­u­ated from Prince­ton in 1941 with high marks in all sub­jects except math­e­mat­ics and sci­ences. His aca­d­e­mic spe­cialty had been com­par­a­tive lit­er­a­ture. But his real career at Prince­ton had con­sisted of play­ing the piano and invent­ing bright lit­tle songs for par­ties and shows.
