...with the children of the land." Following a three-month stretch for contempt of court and two months of treatment in three mental institutions, Textile Tycoon Bernard Goldfine, 70, was ruled mentally competent to stand trial on charges of evading $791,745 in federal income taxes. Noting that the industrialist had managed to conduct business operations from one of the institutions and had "bribed hospital attendants to send telegrams," a U.S. judge found the gift-bearing crony of ex-Presidential Aide Sherman Adams currently free of hallucinations and suicidal inclinations.

But independence can be a relative thing. Only after Cousins & Co. have finally moved into McCall's spacious quarters...
...influential heyday, Boston Industrialist Bernard Goldfine, now finished with a three-month stretch for contempt of court and adjudged psychologically incompetent to stand trial on a tax evasion rap, tried to extend his sphere of largesse beyond Presidential Aide Sherman Adams. Among other grand gestures, Goldfine once sent every state Governor a bolt of costly vicuna fabric turned out in his own mills. One Governor who never returned the gift was Michigan Democrat G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, Jack Kennedy's new Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. Last week, at a farewell party thrown for him by Michigan...
