...Brown-Beasley, who spent two and one half years in Germany and whose father died at age 40 from the effects of wartime imprisonment in a German concentration camp, warns frequently of the hazards of modern-day Naziism--of toeing the corporate line in silence. He is also willing to equate his situation to that of other historical figures.

...Brown-Beasley contends that Champion's appointment of OIT director Wyatt to fill the Financial Systems post created a conflict of interest in Wyatt's work. His interest in running OIT smoothly and on an even financial keel, Brown-Beasley suggests, was likely to influence the advice Wyatt and his staff would offer as head of Financial Systems (indeed, Wyatt's success on this front was cited this summer when he was named to the vice presidential post); In other words, in his second position Wyatt held a consulting veto power over decisions like whether or not to contract...
