"Once we've decided what we want, off we go-a taxidermist or curator to trap and skin the animals, an accessories man, and a background man like myself."

Shields, who took over as Curtiss-Wright's chairman and chief executive officer last April. Shields wanted a man who could cut costs at Curtiss-Wright and lift its sales volume to a profitable level with an additional line of non-aviation products...
