70 years ago today - Dec 8, 1942

[President Heber J. Grant Diary] In the evening Winslow Farr Smith read to me an article from Coliers Magazine. It was a nasty dirty article and it reminded me of the days when I used to read dime novels. At first I felt like writing a letter to Colliers people expressing my contempt for their allowing such an article to be published and telling them I had the respect of the leading bankers of New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, but I concluded it was not worth while paying any attention to it.
