...main problem with the late Beethoven quartets is one of scope. These works stretch the expressive potential of the string quartet to the limit.

Until he does, Axelrod compensates by prodding chiefs of his 14 subsidiaries; he insists that "even if we didn't do anything," sales should grow 22% a year. He awards Cadillacs to those whose sales grow 50%, makes it clear that anyone whose gain falls below 22% "gets canned...
