REMARKABLE PERSPECTIVITY. "No country ever had more, and no country ever had less...Ten men in our Country could buy the World, and ten million can't buy enough to eat." [271]

From one who worked with him, Gene Buck's eulogy: "He enjoyed a position never before attained by anyone...He could go any place, see anything, talk or write about it afterward, and in such a way that the humble and the great accepted it".[360]
