...others have set their minds to licking the problem of lost man-hours. In the process they have not only taken the bitterness out of the coffee break, but have helped to spoon up a profitable new business: coffee catering, to bring the coffee in to employees. Says a Kaiser Aluminum executive in Oakland, Calif.: "Our department alone is saving $110 a month on coffeetime.

His predecessor, rumpled Engineer Charlie Wilson, used to gab cheerfully with friends, and occasionally gave friendly advice to some of his lesser competitors, such as Nash and Kaiser. Curtice rarely finds time for such activity, a fact that has not endeared him to his fellow corporation executives outside of G.M. For example, Curtice is a member of the Department of Commerce's Business Advisory Council but hardly ever attends the meetings...
