4. Child Insurance: A Threat? September 29, 2008 The attack on child insurance, if not adequately answered, threatened the very life of industrial insurance. Weekly Premium business was for the family; and unless the youngsters who formed so large a part of the family were included, the basic principle of this type of coverage was defeated. This result was abundantly evident from the experience of the Prudential of London, the expansion of which had been radically hindered by a temporary ban on child insurance.

7. A Sort Experience Needed to be a Good President August 21, 2008 Is there any specific experience that can best prepare an individual to be the President of the United States? Service in the military? Running a business? Governing a state? Or will the much maligned legislative experience suffice? How much of the right sort of experience is enough? Consider the resumes of two of our best presidents. Consider first Mr. Lincoln. When Lincoln came to office he had served a number of terms in the Illinois state legislature, only one term in the House of Representatives, had limited military service, and his sole executive experience was as postmaster of a s...
