...head that wears a crown-the $80,000-a-year presidency. Nobody tells old President Edwards, due for mandatory retirement, anything he does not want to hear. He is even provided with the tragic flaw of the Shakespearean hero. He likes to pinch women's gloves from dime-store counters and file them away in his great big desk. It is a pretty harmless foible, but if this were known, what would it do to the "Company Image"? Two extraverted corporate types are rivals for his ballpoint-pen scepter, but although the telephone company can command more men than...
...fares would cost ten cents, Harmon said, and students would pay in advance so that the bus driver could collect tickets rather than money. A poll of 'Cliffies earlier this year showed that a dime was the highest fare likely to be attractive, Harmon added...

...Garrett's stock. A onetime barnstormer, mail pilot and test pilot who was Charles Lindbergh's copilot on one of the first transcontinental passenger runs in 1929, Bellande now restricts his piloting to the company Convair. Behind his desk, on which sits a dime-store statuette of a hula dancer, Garrett's $99,000-a-year boss is a smooth delegator of authority, a stickler for punctuality. At home in Bel Air, he collects shotguns and rifles, which he uses on Jeep trips across the California countryside in search of game birds...
