...Herald Tribune's next-door bar for years, considered opening his door to women, gave the whole staff a mild case of jitters. Bleeck's affords something of the oldtime barber-shop refuge from feminism, and there nearly every day the staff gathers-Stanley Walker, Grafton ("Wilkie") Wilcox, the able managing editor, wise Geoffrey Parsons, chief editorial writer, and "Oggie" Reid himself...
