His hair was a bit thinner and greyer, but an expensively tailored suit and a specially cut shirt collar helped give him a trim look. His manner was that of a man who had made up his mind to ignore outrageous slings and arrows and concentrate on the duties before...
...Great Society, in fact, be built-and managed? John Gardner, who bears more responsibility than any other official save the President for answering the question, is confident that it can. A tall, trim (6 ft. 2 in., 175 Ibs.), handsome man with deep-set brown eyes and a classical nose that, according to his mother, acquired its Roman cast by getting broken in a high school football scrimmage, Gardner remains imperturbable in the midst of the tempest.

When a Frankfurt businessman rises in the morning, he may well reach for a Gillette razor blade, Colgate toothpaste, and hair lotion that comes in a bottle made by an Owens-Illinois subsidiary. After he downs his Maxwell instant coffee with Libby condensed milk, his wife, trim in her Lycra stretch bra, kisses him goodbye, leaving only a trace of Revlon lipstick. In his Ford Taunus, or G.M. Opel, fueled with Esso gasoline, he drives to an office equipped with Remington typewriters, ITT telex machines and IBM computers. While his wife runs a Hoover vacuum cleaner...
