...Perkins made life hard for would-be biographers. He was a taciturn and thoroughly decent man who absolutely refused to act out the sort of emotional highs and lows that drive a narrative along. By choice, he did exactly the same thing every working day for 32 years: he sat in the New York City offices of Charles Scribner's Sons and nurtured the talents of others.

As managers met twice daily in corporate planning sessions with Chairman Henry Ford II at the company's "glass house" headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., President Lee Iacocca sat alone and unattended in his office, which adjoins the chairman's. He was undergoing the bitter wind-down to his firing by Henry Ford a week earlier, and his colleagues were continuing to speculate on what additional changes could be expected...
