Rockefeller Senior: "What makes him problematic -- and why he continues to inspire ambivalent reactions -- is that his good side was every bit as good as his bad side was bad. Seldom has history produced such a contradictory figure." = He was a shrewd, shady billionaire boss who abjured both hard drink and tobacco.
