...said: "The only people who will stand by you in Asia are the people of Pakistan ? provided you are prepared to stand by them." He boated up the Potomac to Mount Vernon with the Kennedys, flew to Lyndon Johnson's Texas ranch to write his name in fresh Friendship Walk cement. Vice President Johnson had met Ayub in Pakistan earlier that year and, in a rosy, fraternal glow, saw to it that a camel driver who reached for his outstretched hand got a free junket...
...monotony. The antiseptic highway stretches on and on and on. The green-and-white signs are the same. The little clusters of commerce-at-the-cloverleaf are eminently the same. Even the jargon on the menus of the identical restaurants ("char-broiled steak smothered in mushrooms sauteed in fresh country butter") is the same.

Hired as assistant to President Ralph Reed, Clark watched and learned the business over Reed's shoulder, developed a strong group of young executives, succeeded his boss in 1960. He promptly began reorganizing American Express, giving existing divisions more autonomy and, most important, spreading the company into many new fields...
