...have had my fill of them, with their avarice for power, their ruthlessness, and the spellbinding facility they have over other people. I cannot believe that in their hearts they are truly for the poor and the underprivileged; the concern they show appears to be just a rung in the ladder to power. I further object to a feature on Ethel Kennedy because she should be left alone. She has had a lot of tragedy in her life, and baring it all to the public will not help her.

Both the outsiders and the defectors are concerned that technological society is headed for what John Gardner calls "the beehive model"-a world of faceless bureaucracies and powerless individuals.

His usual grin, a shrug of the shoulders, pause: "Eh . . . there it is." He is confident that wealth will...
...cheerfully social Washington bachelor, Brown may well liven up some of the National Gallery's stuffier formal functions, and possibly even encourage the purchase of more contemporary paintings. But his prime concern, he said last week, was to deepen "our commitment to scholarship" by bringing to the new study center the "great minds in art research from all over the world...
