Youthful Ghost. The old Welsh fire brand, Lloyd George, had once advised that the best way for a newcomer to attract attention in the House was to attack the greatest men around. Nye started with Lloyd George himself. During Nye's blistering speech, said another M.P. later, "Lloyd George sat there fascinated. It was as though he had seen a ghost-the ghost of his own youth...

Elected president only nine weeks ago, he talked enthusiastically of plans for Chrysler's coming year.
