“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows whats good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM.

“The rich man goes out yachting,
Where sanctity cant pursue him;
The poor goes afloat
In a fourpenny boat,
Where the bishop groans to view him.”
