Feeling Foxed. Remembering Fowler's words, many businessmen felt foxed last week when President Johnson cited "an exaggerated boom in business investment" and included a 16-month suspension of the credit among his emergency anti-inflationary measures. "A mistaken choice of remedies," said U.S. Steel's Chairman Roger Blough...
...this it was mistaken. A vocal opponent of the discriminatory clause within the Milwaukee aerie, Judge Cannon, 49, argued that he could best change Eagle policy by remaining within the organization-and that he would not, in any event, yield to pressure. Said he: "I've got my Irish up now." Actually, a majority of judges in Milwaukee-17 out of 26-are members of the Eagles, which generally helps informally in their elections, and most look upon membership as a positive political advantage despite the obvious strains between a judge's duty to be impartial...
...Mistaken Identity. It was this quality of light that enabled Thoré-Bürger to bring recognition to Vermeer's art where others had failed. Long a victim of mistaken identity, Vermeer had been confused with Jan van der Meer of Utrecht; moreover, his paintings had often been attributed to a better-known Delft artist, Pieter de Hooch, who also painted immaculate Dutch interiors.

As a lawyer, he got some national attention for his conscientious - and ultimately successful - defense of Christopher Balestrero, a musician who was the victim of a mistaken-identity arrest...
...girl to show up at his readings: he nurses the hope that one of them will restore his own lost innocence. He has met such a one, and treasures a letter from her that he will reread when the awful wedding (at which his beard causes him to be mistaken for a rabbi) is finally over. After drunken humiliations in which he is literally stripped by his wife and two mistresses, he is left to sleep alone. He opens the letter that should have promised innocence. It proposes-and in the crudest way-just some more sex. There...
