They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we bad to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different. F. SCOTT FITZGERALD ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to acknowledge with gratitude the permissions granted by the following publishers to make somewhat extended quotations from the books here listed: To The Free Press of Glencoe for permission to quote from Robert E. Lane, Political Life, 1965 To Harper and Row, New York, for permission to quote from Joseph S. Clark, Congress: The Sapless Branch, 1964, and W. Lloyd Warner and James C. Abegglen, Big Business Leadership in America, 1955 To Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., New York, for permission to quote from Alan Harrington, Life in the Crystal Palace, 1959 To Oxford University Press, New York, for permission to quote from C. Wright Mills, The Power Elite, 1956 To The Ronald Press Company, New York, for permission to quote from Louis Eisenstein, The Ideologies of Taxation, 1961, Copyright Beyond this I am obviously indebted and feel appropriately grateful to writers and publishers for all shorter quotations from other works, and to leading newspapers such as the New York Times, the late New York Herald Tribune and the Wall Street Journal for the many excerpts taken from their pages. Obviously nobody could have developed so large a canvas as that of the present book without summoning many scholarly witnesses. To mention all such here would be superogatory, as they are all prominently mentioned in the running text as well as in the appended notes. Needless to say, my debt to such is great and without them much would have been obscure which is now precise. However, much more work remains to be done in many areas that are yet obscure. Special thanks are due to the staff of the New York Public Library, Central Branch, which was unfailingly helpful over a long period in locating for me much not readily accessible or very well-known data.
