What Businessmen Like. In any event, businessmen seem to be taking the President's efforts at face value. Says South Carolina's former Democratic Senator Charles E. Daniel, chairman of the Daniel Construction Co. of Greenville, S.C., and a vociferous Kennedy critic: "I think there is a significant change of attitude among businessmen. There is a great deal more confidence in Johnson than there was in Kennedy. Even Republicans are very much impressed with his attitude on the economy." Says Gabriel Hauge, president of New York's Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co., who served as Special Assistant...
Rothenstein, who was knighted in 1952, has fought hard for the Tate-once with his fists. At a bubbly art-show opening, his chief detractor, the waspish critic Douglas Cooper, taunted Rothenstein once too often, and the bespectacled, bantamweight director flattened him with one fat punch.

Take the CIA man who tries to enlist the reluctant critic in the international struggle...
...critic affects the intellectual-detachment ploy. "How many political systems have come and gone since Sophocles wrote his plays?" he asks with the air of a man asking the unanswerable question. Far from swallowing his traditional cigar in chagrin, the CIA man briskly points out that only seven of Sophocles' 100 plays still exist. The rest were destroyed by the forces of war and political rivalry. With irrefutable logic, he finally gets the uncommitted aesthete to agree that "art is long-provided the barbarians don't get their hands on it." The guy can shoot...
