At times, they are so relaxed that they virtually play with their movements, drawing them out and enjoying them like a poem...
...that he will be making a "very substantial sacrifice" when he resigns as Dean of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business to become Secretary of Labor. He will also have to give up income from directorships of Borg-Warner, the General American Transportation Co., and the Stein, Roe and Farnham funds. To become Secretary of Agriculture, Clifford Hardin will receive the same base pay of $35,000 that he has been drawing as Chancellor of the University of Nebraska, but he loses his free residence...
