Korry said moves by the Senate select committee chaired by Frank Church (D.-Idaho) to quash perjury indictments against former Central Intelligence Agency director Richard Helms and Harold Geneen, president of the International Telephone and Telegraph Company (ITT), are not for "legitimate reasons of national security." Instead, he characterized them as an effort to avoid revelations of "bribery, felonies, and conspiracies to murder" perpetrated at the highest levels of government...
...claim that manual labor in the "post-industrial" U.S. is becoming progressively less important with Stanley Aronowitz's that the labor force is being generally proletarianized. The book jumps from general to particular in so haphazard a manner as to make it easier to find anecdotes about Harold Geneen's world vision or the loss of shoemaking jobs in Lynn than precise information about the importance of the global corporations in the U.S. economy...
More than a dozen other companies, large and small, also have three or more top executives. General Electric has long had such an arrangement. In 1972 ITT adopted the multiple-management plan, mainly to prepare for the retirement of its chief, Harold Geneen; at present both Geneen and structure remain. RCA also established an office of the chairman last September, but abolished it and returned to a conventional organization when Chairman Robert W. Sarnoff resigned in November. Other firms that in recent years have experimented with executive offices of three or more officials are Honeywell, Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., Armco...

But just as some of the alleged Watergate consirators should have been tried years ago for other matters--things like ordering illegal mass arrests of political dissenters, as John N. Mitchell did during...
Jake Jacobsen. As the agent of the modern-day dairy trust, Jacobsen was instrumental in its negotiations with the Nixon administration for a hike in the price of milk--negotiations that became smoother after the industry made a large donation to the re-election campaign. Like Geneen, he should be tried for bribery...
