...Saturday, American Express announced that its chairman and chief executive officer, James Robinson III, was resigning after a bruising battle with his board. Two months ago, the board at American Express moved to sack him after a long string of blunders and miscues. Robinson initially agreed to step down when a successor was found. Then, after a divisive battle, Robinson faced down the board and early last week held to the chairmanship, picking his chosen successor, Harvey Golub, as chief executive. Three dissident directors resigned. Robinson's triumph lasted just four days, during which Amex stock dropped 13%. Investor groups...
WALL STREET TAKES NO PRISONERS THESE DAYS, which James D. Robinson III, chairman for 15 years of American Express, discovered.

Is Martin a runaway boy who shows up at John's Kansas house one day, or a grade school teacher...
These biographical facts metter less than the truths of character they allow Peck to express. While the characters' occupations and social positions fluctuate, certain gestures and objects of intimacy reverberate through all the stories a hand ruffling hair, a rose in a lapel, a certain turn of phrase. The final effect is like looking at multiple exposures of a photograph, or into a glorious colored kaleidescope. Although Martin and John never tells us the exact details of these characters' lives, it gives a finely observed portrait of the way those lives feel...
