performs well when he's being the benefactor. But when he gets to the point where the person being benefited doesn't want to do the things that the benefactor thinks will be desirable, he feels then as though he'd been insulted, or feels as though he'd been left out, or feels as though he had not been given full confidence.

What I know most about Baruch inwardly is the way George Peek, Hugh Johnson and John Hancock reacted to him. They are his men. I knew both Peek and Johnson very well indeed. It never failed to be clear that they belonged to Baruch. They spoke of themselves that way. It was that way with Hancock too, but Hancock was much more intellectual than either of the two other men was. He has a first-class mind, but he's equally devoted to Baruch. But he has a much better mind than they had. He's capable of going out on his own. Therefore, of course, he's capable of being enormously useful to Baruch. When Baruch took on a big job like the railroad study that he made, it was John Hancock who made the study. Baruch's general ideas and policies were in it, but whether he could have made the study or not, I don't know. Anyhow, by that time he had reached the age when he wasn't digging in himself with his own hands.

I think he works more by hunches, anyhow. Miss
