My Take
Charles G. Dawes is the kind of figure I love stumbling onto, because he packed several lives into one. Vice president under Coolidge, Nobel Peace Prize winner for the Dawes Plan on World War I reparations, and somehow also a pianist whose melody later became a popular song. That last detail charms me most. A politician and diplomat who could actually compose feels rare, then and now. The 1925 peace prize tells me his work on Europe's debt mess genuinely mattered, not just as policy but as an attempt to steady a fragile postwar order. He strikes me as a serious man with an unexpectedly creative streak.
