...three men are experts in their fields. Hubbard designed control rooms for atomic plants and worked with Government regulators. Minor was responsible for the design of many nuclear plant-safety and control systems. Bridenbaugh headed an industry group that reviewed radiation-containment safety devices. Yet, though the engineers claim to have told their superiors about their doubts, a GE spokesman insisted they had never mentioned to management "any broad concern about their work or about nuclear power...
...strategy for propelling Volkswagen beyond the Beetle was laid out by the company's former managing director, Rudolf Leiding, who launched a $1 billion program to design new models in the early 1970s.
