...language takes over the firm, juggling its personnel so thoroughly that Gross finds himself demoted to staff watcher, for which he must monitor peepholes into five offices at once. Eventually he persuades a secretary to make an unauthorized translation of his memo-which turns out to be a document praising his opposition to the spread of Ptydepe.

Unprofitable heavy-equipment divisions have been sold off, red-inked offices closed, personnel trimmed, including a cut in the headquarters office force from 2,000 to 200. Weinstock set up new accounting procedures to monitor G.E.C.'s progress, and executives who did not measure up to his operating standards were promptly fired or allowed to resign. In five years, G.E.C.'s earnings quadrupled to $25.4 million, after taxes, on sales of $458.5 million; the company became Britain's third largest electric-equipment...
