Harold Greenwood, 42, was an ex-policeman and college dropout when he became a clerk at a modest Minneapolis savings and loan company in 1955.

Common sense and ancient wisdom agree that the secret of a happy and productive inner life is to forget as much as possible-forget time's winged chariot, forget that your child needs orthodontia, forget that you have forgotten your mother's birthday, forget that the drink you hold as you watch the evening news (which itself must be forgotten) will demolish a billion brain cells...
