Description
Caption: After a few weeks of answering the telephone in Robert Leonard's law office, a smart secretary could easily fill in the control tower at International Airport. While you circle above waiting, there is time to contemplate the dependency of the American executive on science, and, conversely, the dependency of AT&T upon the American executive: example: Fenton's recent $1,300 monthly telephone bill. But the black box is no more than the seeder.What blooms is fantastic.During once recent week, Fenton, 56, took Gail Cogdill, a handsome as well as an occasionally windy Detroit Lion, to New York to talk about television commercials. While they were they, he bought Milt Plum some sweaters he'd been wanting.He also considered buying a radio station; checked to see how many times he could touch his toes; began accepting construction bids on his upcoming $1.5 million Polynesian restaurant in Detroit; and practiced law.In the latter endeavor, he flew once to Dallas and drove once to Lansing, and any number of times carried his briefcase to the London Chop House. He negotiated for Wayne National Life Insurance Co., of which he is also a director, and for other insurance firms in Wisconsin and California; and counseled, cheered, and chided- as needed- a dozen professional athletes who are his clients.In between times, he helped Cogdill pen a letter expressing sorrow for anything he may have inadvertently said about chief Lion Harry Gilmer; drove to Ann Arbor to see Carrie Russell play basketball; flew to Boyne Mountain to ski; ate out several times; cooked in several times; made..(cuts off).

The front and back of this photograph are pictured below.
