Essay was conceived by Managing Editor Otto Fuerbringer as a means of probing and laying bare, relatively free of fast-breaking news, the big questions, the overriding issues of our times. Like any other TIME story, Essay is the product of many minds: editors, writers, researchers, correspondents-and the experts they interview. But it takes one man to pull everything together, and from the start that editor has been Henry Grunwald. Three senior editors, A. T.

...embarrassed witness before a Senate subcommittee. General Motors President James M. Roche, 59, candidly admitted that his company - without his knowledge - had hired a private eye to peer into the personal life of a young man who had written a book about au tomotive safety particularly criticizing a G.M. product.
