Shellmen agree that their Britons incline more to flair and intuition, their Dutchmen to patience and stolidity. Loudon presides over the mix. If he favors a project, it is likely to go through; if he frowns on it, its chances are poor. Says he: "There is always plenty of give and take, but somebody always gives in.
