...able to turn on charm to convince a client or win over a potential ally. Helm became vice president in 1929, first vice president in 1946, president in 1947, finally took over as chairman in 1956, when former chairman N. Baxter Jackson reached retirement age.

Elsewhere, even in such perfectly reasonable injunctions as "Great national problems which are not honestly presented to the nation-will either be badly solved; or they will simply be left unsolved until they grow rancid by over-keeping and make a public stink," the Alsopian manner renders Alsopian reason repulsive. The columnists' work is clearly that of dedicated and respectable, if unattractive vision of the truth. But the tone of the pursuers, the positive arrogance of Joseph Alsop (who once stormed out of an interview...
