		Thus, with Beaverbrook having the right to exclude cartoons he felt were objectionable, Low, although free to draw what he liked, was aware that if he drew too many cartoons that the proprietor found unacceptable, it would soon have become apparent that his work was subject to censor.
		Beaverbrook, by not stepping in and alleviating the problems facing Low, was thus aware that he might lose him, in spite of his later statements of shock over Low's resignation.
		Beaverbrook also successfully promoted Low through his newspapers, and most notably his syndication department was largely responsible for making Low not only a household name in Britain but around the world.

	Untitled Document
		William Maxwell Aitken, (1879-1964), the first Lord Beaverbrook, effortlessly traversed the worlds of politics, finance and newspapers, revolutionising them – with not so much as a backward glance – as he did so.
		Aitken was born on 25th May 1879, the fifth child of William Aitken, a dignified and devout Presbyterian preacher of Scottish extraction.
		Instead, he chose the title Beaverbrook, not – as was romantically put about – because it had been a stream near New Brunswick where he had fished as a boy; but, because, more prosaically, he had found it on a map.

	CM Magazine: Beaverbrook: The Various Lives of Max Aitken.
		Except perhaps within the turn-of-the-century "rags to riches" fraternity to which he did not actually belong, at the "rag" end at least, Beaverbrook's life story (1879-1964) is really representative of no one but himself.
		The same qualities that made Beaverbrook a giant on the world stage made him at times less admirable in other dimensions of his life.
		Because Beaverbrook occupied so central a stage, his story allows glimpses into the life of the privileged during the first half of the century and of power of money to buy political protection and to move to the highest levels of the social establishment.
