...rent discrepancies exist in every House and dormitory. The same rents, for instance, are charged for rooms that are obviously far from equal in desirability.

...salary from $50,000 to $100,000 a year gives a man an actual increase of only $12,000, and leaves him a spendable total of $38,000. If the salaries of Du Pont's nine executive committeemen (the top management) were completely eliminated, said he, it would add only 9.3? per share to the company's earnings (some $113,000,000 in 1947).
