He doesn’t like to be called ‘‘czar,” preferring just plain “Bill,” if there is any call for an informal salutation. Hearing him wind up in an address, or even in casual talk, one could understand how he could be a eudemonist, as he invokes the founding fathers or the palladium of our liberties, against this or that, but he usually coppers such oratorical bets with a remark like this: ‘And, after all, it probably wouldn't work.” Thus he is revealed as what might be called a pragmatic eudemonist. ut lients, In his county seat town, he inherited his father's land-law business.
