...same train or plane, and often stay in different hotels. They also divvy up business responsibilities: Steinhardt handles travel, Dalley is in charge of money, Soyer manages overseas tours, and Tree is the program chairman. "We're just like a corporation," says Steinhardt. "We work together, but must we play together?" When they try, it can cause trouble. Last year Steinhardt broke his own self-imposed rule by challenging Tree on the tennis court and fractured his wrist...
...rates distort decisions about how to invest, how to organize a company, how to reward employees. Companies in need of capital get a richer federal tax break when they issue bonds instead of stocks; they can deduct the interest on bonds from their taxable income, but dividends on stocks must be paid out of after-tax profits. This fact has stimulated the growth of conglomerate mergers, which the Government is now vigorously attacking (see following story). It is fairly cheap and easy for one company to finance the takeover of another by issuing interest-bearing securities of dubious value...

He has committed every possible error of style and taste, including the inexcusable fault of letting Steiger chew up every piece of scenery in sight. Exhuming his Oscar-winning sorghum accent from In the Heat of the Night, he gets more syllables out of a conjunction...
Ploy No. 1: "I can't respect you any more." The opening gambit for all student movements, says Feuer, is "the moral de-authorization of the older generation." Like a replay of Death of a Salesman, a million sons must unmask the hypocrisy of a million fathers. Feuer writes of three generations of 19th century Russian students: "Each generation refused to be morally castrated as its fathers had been...
