Were Murray's wisdom (and unselfishness) as great as his "big heart" he would, instead of fastening further inflation on all of us, be setting a goal of having every steelworker become the proud owner of 100 or more shares of steel stock.

A group of German trade unionists trooped into his Schloss bringing a porcelain figurine for "an understanding friend of the German workers." McCloy went to Berlin to collect an honorary engineering doctorate. Back in Bonn, he attended the 92nd meeting of the Allied High Commission (his British and French colleagues gave him a gold cigarette case). All the time...
