...hatred so fierce as to be nearly inexplicable on rational grounds. The Nixon on view in Yorba Linda is a version carefully controlled by Nixon himself.

Toyota's task within the joint venture was to implant its efficient, low- cost production system in GM's Fremont factory. GM is represented by 17 management-level employees at NUMMI, while Toyota has 36, including the president and executive vice president. One of the first things the Japanese did was eliminate executive perks such as reserved parking places and a separate cafeteria.
