...informal and scornful of organization charts-"We all work together," he says, "and when I'm in trouble I ask somebody, and when I'm not I don't"-Wriston helped initiate many of First National City's innovations. It was he who, with another staffer, "invented" the negotiable certificates of deposit in 1961. The CDs, as they are known, have since helped banks to recoup a lot of badly needed corporate deposits, which had been flowing into treasury bills and other short-term notes...

The idea apparently was forgotten by the time of last year's elections, when SNCC instead bought advertising space...
...week during the executive council's meeting in Florida. He simply stated that if Reuther has any differences he ought to work them out within the federation and not by leaving it. This same feeling has been voiced by many other insiders. The big question asked by an AFL staffer is "where has Reuther been for the past ten years?" One of Reuther's main complaints has been that the AFL has done little to organize the unorganized...
