⁵ From Hinman’s corner office a knowing visitor had as good a view as any of the Eastern Establishment. One could peer down catercorner at the corner office of Louis Harris on the 33rd floor of what had once been the Time-Life building. Harris had conducted similar surveys for John F. Kennedy in 1960; and now, from his new offices, he was undertaking the massive survey of precinct-vote analysis for CBS which was to revolutionize election-day reporting eighteen months later. Harris, who had never met Hinman, could have told Hinman what the impact of remarriage would be on the campaign of 1964, statistically, by ethnic group, by income bracket, by religion. But Hinman already knew in his heart. So, too, could have reported the previous occupant of Harris’ new corner suite—Henry Luce, the founder of Time and Life, who had moved a few blocks into a new building he owned in partnership with the Rockefeller family. Harris, in turn, had moved here from the corner suite of the 49th floor of the Empire State Building, owned by Roger Stevens, the most important Broadway entrepreneur, and previously captained by Alfred Emanuel Smith, a former New York candidate for the Presidency, a few floors up from the law firm of which Robert Ferdinand Wagner, Mayor of New York, was a partner, and Wagner—One could go on with these interconnections, but that way madness lies. I cite this only to show how intertangled is the maze of the Eastern Establishment, even to a New Yorker—and how much more so to the primitives out beyond the mountains.
