Bleeding Ulcers. High on the list of things that irritated him, he said, was a comment in the Saturday Evening Post by Columnist Stewart Alsop: "The President's passion to know everything and to control everything makes him an immensely difficult man to work for, which surely accounts in part for the bleeding ulcer of the ablest of his aides, Bill Moyers." Said Fleming: "I would suggest it would not have been hard for Stewart Alsop to know, as I knew well before I went to the White House, that Bill Moyers' grandfather died of an ulcer...
...overtaking U.S. heavy industry by 1970 and focused instead on a goal that Red China's rulers condemn as pure capitalistic decadence-making life more pleasant for the people.

" But among all the diverse types who trooped to the Schlesinger house, Novelist McCarthy cannot recall ever having met a Republican. "Arthur just doesn't like Republicans," she ventures. "There is a certain amount of cow-boys-and-Indians about it." Summers, the Schlesingers shifted their...
...gone, and the columnists of yesterday still write on, as confidently as ever. Arthur Krock at 79, David Lawrence at 76, Walter Lippmann at 76, and Drew Pearson at 67 remain familiar if greying presences in the nation's press. Roscoe Drummond, 63, James Reston, 56, and Joseph Alsop, 55, have been around so long that they too seem part of the patriarchy. But the roster of challengers is growing fast...
