...Markings, Hammarskjold poured out the "true colors" that he was never able to display publicly. Van Dusen finds the explanation in a singularly unhappy childhood. Hammarskjold worshiped his gentle, pious Lutheran mother, from whom he received a conventional religious upbringing. He admired, yet feared, and perhaps hated his stern disciplinarian father, who was Sweden's Prime Minister from 1914 to 1917. As he worked his way through the ranks of his country's civil service, the brooding, lonely man often contemplated suicide. "My life," he wrote darkly, "is worse than death...
Though Foote, Cone has 2,160 employees and went public three years ago, it has always seemed something of a one-man agency-the man being Cone.

"I am no disciplinarian," Heyns says, but he once squelched disorderly students, protesting the campus presence of former Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett, by grabbing a microphone and ordering: "All right, cool...
...Nguyen Ai Quoc (roughly, "Smith the Patriot"), as agitator and translator for Stalin's agent Mikhail Borodin. Their mission: to penetrate the Kuomintang and train Communist can bo (cadres) to infiltrate French Indo-China. At Canton's Whampoa Military Academy, Ho demonstrated his skills as a disciplinarian. Any student-agitator who failed to show sufficient diligence was promptly betrayed to the French when he infiltrated Viet Nam. Most of Ho's pupils quickly learned to do their homework, but teacher's pet was the son of an Indo-Chinese Cabinet chief, a lad named Pham...
