...employees in Economics Laboratory but only associates. He is certain that he and his associates are headed for annual sales of $100 million next year and can expect continuous growth after that. One reason is that Economics Laboratory spends heavily on research and development to find new ways to fight dirt and germs. Another is that there is a whole world of dirt outside the U.S. waiting to be cleaned up. Economics Laboratory, through its international division, is now selling its specialties in 67 other grimy countries...

Among his innovations, though, are decisions that to many other Orthodox rabbis seem to be in open contravention of Halakah. As chief military chaplain, he allowed his troops to work and fight on the Sabbath, and even drive trucks if it was necessary for the security of the state.
