Reporter Carey Winfrey trailed Hoffman for weeks. He put in so much time at rehearsals that he even managed to contribute a line to the script. He shared dinners and lunches with his subject and spent long evenings playing pool on Hoffman's own table. "When we first met, I was winning consistently," says Winfrey. "By the time I had filed my reports, the real competitor had emerged. He beat me regularly...
Arthur Frank Burns was chairman of Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers when he first met Richard Nixon in 1953. Burns made no secret of his admiration for the then Vice President. In March of 1960, after he had returned to his old professorial post at Columbia University, Burns went down to Washington to alert Nixon to his own reading of the economy-based on his knowledge as a top expert on the business cycle.

Better they should deplore the pressures which led several New York City councilmen to threaten the end of the city's three-million-dollar allocation...
...Freedom Rides, and a decade of brushes with lynching and murder--all this possibly the heyday of CORE, nonviolence, and James Farmer. In those simpler days, before urban riots and black power, the Northern whites were all liberals and the Southern whites were all sheriffs. "One Mississippi officer I met," he recalls, "just couldn't bring himself to call me Mister Farmer. He tried, but he just couldn't. All that he could come out with was Mmmmm Farmer, Mmmmm Farmer...
