...midweek TIME's Boston bureau got the word to be on the lookout for a man named Bernard Goldfine, a textile industrialist whose name had suddenly been linked to White House Staff Boss Sherman Adams. TIME-LIFE Correspondents Murray Gart and Wilbur Jarvis set to work, telephoning town after town in New England, searching for the elusive Goldfine (neither his home nor his office admitted to his whereabouts). Once they found a man named Goldfine, but it was Bernard's son Horace. He did not know where his father was, either. That evening TIME-LIFE Correspondent Ken Froslid...
While other Boston newsmen still searched, Bernard Goldfine turned up in Chestnut Hill, invited the TIME-LIFE crew in for a detailed 3½-hr. interview, nightcapped it with a Scotch and water. At 3 a.m., Correspondents Jarvis and Gart got back to their office and started a stream of file copy to the Manhattan editors that ended a full twelve hours later. By that time, much-sought Bernard Goldfine had once again retreated, apparently into thin air, and at week's end was still the object of search by Boston's harried newsmen. For the story...
Adams was pinpointed by two investigators of the House Special Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight. They turned up in Boston a month ago, took time out to follow up a tip to look at the books of the stately Sheraton Plaza Hotel. They hit pay dirt: on a dozen occasions between 1955 and May 1958, members of the Adams family stayed at the Sheraton Plaza and racked up total board and food tabs of nearly $2,000. The bills, the investigators found, were paid in full by a millionaire Boston textile manufacturer and real estate man named Bernard Goldfine...
...Congress, Adams' acceptance of small gifts and favors from an old Boston friend (see Investigations) would have caused scarcely a ripple, his dutiful referrals of his friend to the proper federal investigative agencies would have been the mark of a Congressman taking good care of a constituent. But nobody knew better than honest Sherman Adams that the White House code was the underpinning of far more than an election platform. It was the base of the President's tremendous moral authority in the nation and the world. The code-and the authority-could be no more lustrous than...
Another plea for the healing ministry came from the annual meeting of the Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston last week. Notable agenda item: the trustees' report on the two Christian Science sanatoria in the U.S.-at Chestnut Hill, Mass. and in San Francisco. These establishments resemble hospitals except that patients go there to be healed by prayer and not by medicine. They also provide training for Christian Science nurses, who learn their techniques of prayer and care in three-year courses (regular registered nurses need only a one-year Christian Science course). Enrollments, according to the report...
