Wilde, chairman of the board of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. Mr. Wilde is recognized as having lived the legendary pattern of the American success story. He joined Connecticut General in 1914 as an office boy and 22 years later, at the age of 41, became its president. He was elected chairman of Map shown locations of the board in 1960.

Mr. Wilde has been consulted on economic matters by the national administration and has frequently been called by Congress to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee and other Congressional committees.

  • The Presidential Nominating System
    1979-80 Institute of Politics John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University PROCEEDINGS Institute of Politics 1979-80 John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University FOREWORD Here is Proceedings '80, an attempt to capture the stream of people and ideas that flow through the Institute of Politics. It is the second edition of Proceedings since the Ten-Year Report was compiled in 1977 and the first retrospective to cover a single academic year. Thus, the readings are longer and the programs can be listed in more detail. Part One, "Readings," contains excerpts of written and spoken words from the wide variety of events and formats typical of Institute activity. It has been a campaign year, and the Institute has been an extraordinary place to witness that increasingly complex phenomenon. But politics is more than just campaigning, and most of the readings deal with issues from across the spectrum of political activity: drainage in west Texas, lawsuits at HEW, prisons in Maine, cameras in Afghanistan, sex-neutral determination of custody and child support, the medical effects of plutonium. The readings end with a few observations from people who see the Institute from within. Part Two, "Programs," is a detailed listing of all the projects, people, and products which make up the past year of Institute effort. Putting a unified face on the Institute of Politics is like trying to map out the globe on a flat piece of paper—there are dynamics of experience and perspective which cannot be translated to ink in two dimensions. The volume of activity has increased to a point where few of us can keep track of everything that happens here.

  • Life on the East Side
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Jerome Myers American, 1867 - 1940 Life on the East Side 1931 oil on canvas overall: 76.2 × 101.6 cm (30 × 40 in.) framed: 92.39 × 118.75 × 8.26 cm (36 3/8 × 46 3/4 × 3 1/4 in.) Inscription: lower right: Jerome Myers / N. Y. 1931 Corcoran Collection (Museum Purchase, Gallery Fund) 2015.19.55 ENTRY Jerome Myers is well known to enthusiasts of early 20th-century American painting for his sympathetic depictions of Manhattan’s Lower East Side immigrant neighborhoods. During a career that spanned almost 50 years, he recorded the daily activities and special rituals of those who, having recently arrived in the United States, congregated in communities that fostered the culture, religion, and traditions of their homelands. Myers was particularly drawn to the animation, energy, and color of ethnic neighborhoods’ kaleidoscopic marketplaces. Life on the East Side depicts an open-air market in the Jewish quarter of the Lower East Side. Vendors’ mobile carts and freestanding stalls display comestibles to an assembly of predominantly female customers. The impression is of a pleasant scene of neighborhood life captured spontaneously by a serendipitous observer. Myers’s brushwork is loose, which gives the feeling of perfunctory or speedy application, and the perspective is slightly off in a casual, unstudied way. He painted similar scenes in Paris but observed that when immigrants “merge here with New York, something happens that gives vibrancy I didn’t get in any other place.” [1] Life on the East Side 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Between 1881 and 1910, more than 1.5 million Jews immigrated to the United States, many settling in the Lower East Side.
