   • 1999 January 13, Michael T. Kaufman, quoting William H. Whyte, “William H. Whyte, 'Organization Man' Author and Urbanologist, Is Dead at 81”, in The New York Times‎, →ISSN:

     “Schmoozing patterns are similarly consistent. When men gather in groups to stand and talk, they show a distinct liking for certain kinds of places. They are, for one thing, strongly attracted by pillars and flagpoles, obeying a primeval instinct, perhaps, to have something solid at their backs. They also favor edges. Schmoozers do not stand often or long in the middle of big plazas.”
