Rockefeller developed a reputation of ruthlessness. Tales of men who had been ruined by him were accompanied by stories of bribed lawmakers, railroad corruption, and unfair discriminations. Some of the old headlines read: “Rockefeller Indicted Again,” “Standard Oil Before the Bar,” “Standard Oil Magnates Dodge Subpoenas,” “Rockefeller Faces Justice.” Later headlines changed dramatically in tone — “Rockefeller Gives Another Million to Unemployment Fund,” “Rockefeller Foundation Fights Pellagra in Georgia,” and “John D. Gives Dimes to Children” — as a more philanthropic side emerged.
