...Business, said Galbraith, has freed itself from a lot besides marketplace chance-taking. For one thing, owners can rarely bother the managers. Ownership is so broad that the individual stockholder is a "passive and functionless figure." Even bankers can be held at arm's length, because corporations, to an ever-increasing degree, can finance themselves through retained earnings...
...that trial eventually ended in a hung jury. Hoffa was next tried on the jury-fixing charge in Chattanooga in 1964. And that time, the Government's star witness was none other than Ed ward Partin, a trusted member of Hoffa's Nashville entourage.

...case, middle-level classes are the Gen Ed section man's dream. He is freed from the dreary search for inept metaphors and badly constructed sentences that absorbs most of a teaching fellow's energy in what one of them called "the basic idiot's course." Instead he is able to teach his own field to students who have declared an interest in it. The old "why-bother-with-the-reading-it's-only-Gen-Ed" syndrome seems to have vanished in middle level sections...
