...policy of conservation for conservation's sake." Several Senators and the nation's most potent conservation organizations bitterly opposed Hickel's appointment. In only eight weeks, however, the new Secretary has shown an extraordinary flair for confounding his critics. Michael Mc-Closkey, acting executive director of the powerful Sierra Club, says: "Conservationists remain to be convinced by Hickel, but I think their minds are not closed to welcome evidence...
Some of Righter's clients have tended toward fanaticism: Director William Dieterle insisted on starting the shooting for one movie on a certain date, even though it had not been cast by that time.
