Sick Beaver
So severe has been Lord Beaverbrook's asthma since he arrived in the U.S. last month that he has not been able to apply his genius to Anglo-American production. Instead, wearing only blue shorts and a black Homburg, he has been sunning himself at Miami Beach, Fla. Said he: "It is true that I suffer from both temperament and asthma but the asthma is a damn sight worse than the temperament."
Restless because his asthma failed to respond to Florida sunshine, the Beaver hopped to Nassau to visit the Duke of Windsor and other friends. At dinner one night he broke a tooth on a chicken bone, went to the island's most expensive dentist to have it replaced. At week's end the Beaver returned to Miami Beach, gnawed more chicken bones, broke his new tooth.
