...Sorensen, vice president, and squat, nail-hard Harry Bennett. Sorensen, Danish-born, came to the company in 1904, has heard all the dreams of Henry and Edsel, and translated them into cars off the production line, planes winging from Willow Run. Bennett is no production man. Upon his pugilist's shoulders has rested the Atlantean task of protecting the empire from anything which Henry Ford wants it protected from.

Most important of all, it forces a wartime President into the dangerous game of playing politics within his own party...

Brown trophy awarded to the outstanding New England pugilist of the season...
