...RUBBING raw the sores of discontent" is one of Saul Alinsky's first tactics in organizing mass movements. As a professional radical and agitator. Alinsky has spent the last thirty years building popular bases of power. He has gone into communities, pointing out the causes of the problems that bear down on the people who have invited him in, inciting and directing anger against those causes, building popular movements, and working out tactics the movements can use to win power, and gain some real measure of control over community life. Over and over. Alinsky has made his method work...
...last great houses. From the felicitously festooned walls of his century-old mansion on Gramercy Park, Sonnenberg selected 64 portrait drawings of the past 150-odd years for an exhibition that opened last week at the Pierpont Morgan Library. The show includes a Van Gogh, two Modiglianis and a Saul Steinberg (of Sonnenberg). A rich potpourri of New York, N.Y., turned out for the opening-literary, artistic, social-a p.r. man's dream.

In his new job, Saul, 48, seems to be in line to move up quickly to one of the two top posts at First Boston. Its chairman, Emil Pattberg, is 61 and its vice chairman of the board, Andrew N. Overby Jr., is 62. They are both close to the mandatory retirement...
...Saul was interested in more than his bright future at First Boston. As he confided to friends, the new job will give him a chance to build more financial security and add a new facet to his many-sided experience in the securities business. He has already held high positions on the SEC staff and with Investors Diversified Services, the nation's largest mutual-fund group; at First Boston, he will help run the nation's biggest underwriter. Once he has accumulated some wealth and more experience, Saul would be willing to re-enter public service, perhaps with...
