If Kennedy had followed his inclinations at the time of the Bay of Pigs, if he had devoted his full energy to Vietnam, his major foreign problems might have been solved. Then, there is the apparently unconfrontable fact of his death--what might not have followed in that unforgettable second term with its Decade of Development for the third world and its war on poverty at home.

Charles Bluhdorn seeks "the joy of putting something together and seeing it grow." Says Arthur Carlsberg: "Accumulating money is a hobby, a game, a drive. I enjoy it." Perhaps the best explanation comes from Manhattan's Robert K. Lifton, 37, head of the widely .diversified Transcontinental Investing Corp., who has earned $4,750,000 through real estate and other ventures. Says he: "This is our form...
