...inadequacies and weaknesses just blare out at you," complained the young artist as he viewed his own one-man show at the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, Me. Jamie Wyeth, 23, Andrew's talented and modest son, had hitched a ride with a lobsterman from his home on Monhegan Island, and almost wished he hadn't come. Even his 1967 portrait of the late John F. Kennedy was disappointing in retrospect. "I'm terribly unsatisfied with it," said Jamie, who never saw J.F.K. in the flesh and completed the portrait from photographs and extensive sketches of the President...

...study reports, attend meetings and make decisions, let alone spend time with the family. A study of Chicago businessmen by Daniel D. Howard Associates, management consultants, showed that the average chief executive puts in 53 hours at his desk every week, then carries another ten hours of work home. At the Ashland Oil & Refining Co. in Ashland, Ky., higher-ranking officers often work a 61-day week, with only enough time off on weekends for church and 18 holes of golf at the club...
