...never take. In so doing, Rockefeller, 66, had to answer questions about his personal fortune that he has brushed aside throughout his 34 eventful years in public life. More than any man in the room, Rockefeller seemed to appreciate the irony of his situation. The descendant of robber barons cum philanthropists cum public servants, he wears the mantle of his heritage with easy grace, and he handled the Senators so adroitly that what could have been an ordeal turned out to be a triumph. When the former Governor of New York stepped down, the committee was clearly ready to approve...
...past years I subscribed to Mailer's theory of discussion-cum-boxing, and for a long time I've tried to find courses that promise academic pugilism.

He worked for The Conference Board (a business research group) for a while, then founded his now-thriving consulting firm in 1953 with William Townsend, a Wall Street bond trader, who died in 1958. Presently a bachelor, Greenspan was married for one year...
Come January, early-morning television will once again be burnished by a blond. Not the ill-fated Sally Quinn but John V. Lindsay, 52. ABC is putting up to bat against NBC's highly rated Today show their own news-cum-interviews program, AM America. Former New York City Mayor Lindsay will appear once a week as a guest commentator and interviewer. After many years' experience in amateur theatricals, Including political conventions, Matinee Idol Lindsay will also make his movie debut soon. This week in Paris he joins the cast of Otto Preminger's Rosebud, playing...
