...Counterattack. The challenger's road show took it in stride. Newsmen summoned to the presidential suite on the 23rd floor of Chicago's Conrad Hilton Hotel found Wolfson perched modestly on the edge of his seat while onetime Notre Dame Football Coach Frank Leahy who will organize stockholder committees' delivered a testimonial: "Louis is one of the cleanest persons I have ever known clean in mind and body.
