...last a year, it would cost Justice 66,000 man-hours, or $534,000. CBS Commentator Eric Sevareid was amused by a time-sheet category called "de minimis time," which is supposed to include all minor interruptions. "Computers read Latin already," quipped Sevareid, who described Kleindienst as "a new Lochinvar" riding a computer instead of a white horse and trying to rescue the Government from inefficiency-a goal that has eluded many others in the past...
Though he insists that the governorship is his only goal, a victory for Reagan will inevitably catapult him onto the national scene as the G.O.P.'s Lochinvar from the West.

He had been a superb trial attorney, so good that he had received glowing praise from Justice Felix Frankfurter for his presentation of a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. He had proved himself to be one of New York's alltime champion vote getters in his 17th Congressional District. He was one of the toughest, go-it-alone independents in Congress, a top House expert...
...Alfred Barr tapped his wine glass for attention, rose to reminisce: "I think I first heard the name of Bob Motherwell back in the 1940's from the surrealists, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, André Breton. And to hear them describe him, he was then like some young Lochinvar come out of the west." Last week Robert Motherwell went back in triumph to Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art to receive its greatest accolade: a one-man show, with 87 canvases, collages and drawings, including two outsize abstract canvases never shown before (see color...
