...trained on the negotiators. He had Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz looking over United Steelworkers' President I. W. Abel's shoulder and Commerce Secretary John Connor hovering near Top Management Negotiator R. Conrad Cooper. When that tactic flagged, he sent Wirtz over to hound management and Connor to rile labor.

Sir Matthew tartly challenges British government policy that Crown corporations such as BOAC should be run like private companies and held accountable as to capital and interest. He argues that BOAC, the third largest of the transatlantic carriers,* should be free to write off its entire debt...
