From two days of testimony before the House Special Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight last week emerged the two faces of Bernard Goldfine. The first face, carefully shaped by lawyers and flacks (see box next page), was that of a humble, eager-to-please immigrant who had come to wealth and awakened astonished one day to find his name "in the newspapers all over America because of gifts and hospitality to a friend of almost 20 years." The second Goldfine told more about how he had become a millionaire in Massachusetts' tough, no-quarter textile and real estate world; that...
...automatically went bail for Adams' faith in Textile and Real Estate Millionaire Goldfine, Adams' friend and benefactor. That done, the Administration was stuck with whatever Goldfine might really turn out to be. What Bernard Goldfine turned out to be in his testimony last week before the House Special Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight (see Investigations) was a cheap and devious character-a fast man with a buck, whether to manipulate the financial fortunes of his numerous mills and real estate holdings or to distribute gifts to public employees, mostly little, who might do him some good in his chronic...

More and more, the President holds off proposals with a "Let's see what Jim thinks about this.'' Among the most meaningful scribbles on official memorandums is "Killian has no objections." At a recent press conference, the President, asked whether the U.S. ought...
False Addresses. While the Household Board worked away at its list, Japan's major newspapers set up "special sections" of 30 to 170 staffmen to pry out the favorites. The papers knew that all the eligible girls would be past or present students at the Gakushuin, the Tokyo peers' school. Armed with pocket cameras, reporters followed girls to school, trailed them when they went home at night. One paper smuggled a woman reporter into the school disguised as a student. Another tried to get a list of all girls enrolled-something that is by tradition kept secret...
