President Walter Reuther, an old enemy of Leonard's, was naturally jealous of the prestige which a pension plan might give his rival. So his henchmen, according to union gossip, quietly urged the plan's defeat. In this, they found themselves working with their arch enemies, the Communists. As long as they thought that Young Henry would not agree to pension, the Communists (who dominate Local 600) were for them. When Ford agreed to them, they turned against the whole business...

Since she was getting nowhere with Heflin, Joan married Massey. His daughter, Geraldine Brooks, believing her late mother's fantasies about the treacherous nurse, hated Joan. And every time Heflin turned up, Joan got wobbly in her loveless marriage. Worse still...
When war cut off materials needed for certain scents, the Guerlains, Pierre and Jacques, jealous of the house's 119-year-old reputation, stopped making them, rather than put out an inferior product. When bombers wiped out the Guerlain laboratory in the suburbs, they started mixing perfumes in the basement of their Champs-Elyseés shop.
