爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The work of some of these editors never reached the printed page, and yet was vastly more important than any published matter could possibly be. Out of the work of Ruth Ashmore, for instance, there grew a class of cases of the most confidential nature. These cases, distributed all over the country, called for special investigation and personal contact. Bok selected Mrs. Lyman Abbott for this piece of delicate work, and, through the wide acquaintance of her husband, she was enabled to reach, personally, every case in every locality, and bring personal help to bear on it. These cases mounted into the hundreds, and the good accomplished through this quiet channel cannot be overestimated.

白话
有些编辑的工作从没印在杂志上，却比任何印出来的内容都重要。比如露丝·阿什莫尔处理的那类最私密的求助案例，遍布全国，需要专门调查和当面接触。博克请来莱曼·阿博特夫人做这件细致活，靠她丈夫的人脉，她能亲自到达每个地方、每个案例，给予具体帮助。这类案例积到几百件，通过这条安静渠道做成的好事，怎么估计都不过分。核心是：真正的影响力常发生在不公开的个案服务里；做法是找到合适的人，一对一跟进。
