When in 1954 it became clear to Director William M. Milliken, 68, that the museum was rapidly outgrowing its Grecian-style building, Leonard Hanna agreed to put up nearly $4,000,000 for a new wing-if the sum could be matched by private subscription. To Director Milliken's delight, more money than was needed came rolling in. Closing the museum for eleven months, the trustees added a U-shaped wing in red and grey granite, enclosing a landscaped sculpture court and pool. But the real novelty is the wing's intimate, informal interior. The corps of guards...
Enter Detective. James M. Herrmann, 42, an airline representative, lives with his wife, daughter and twelve-year-old son, Jimmy, in a white-trimmed green ranch house.

To further their anonymity, M.C.A. agents dress as conservatively as bankers; the M.C.A. black suit is legend. And no one tries to dodge the public eye more than M.C.A.'s small, greying founder, board chairman and boss, Jules Caesar Stein...
Competitors charge that M.C.A. does little to build up stars, gets them by raiding other agencies, even has a vice-president in charge of raiding. But moviemakers such as former M-G-M Head Dore Schary say that M.C.A. deserves its success because it works hardest for its clients, constantly plans deals to boost their salaries and its commissions.
