...based on his credo of "change" supplemented by a belief that nothing can be taken for granted, that "A man must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere with progressive things." He is a tall lank man who has been found to resemble both Ichabod Crane and Abraham Lincoln. He is Charles Franklin Kettering, vice president of General Motors Corp.
