...mail. It's one way of finding out what's going on." Ambitious, hard-driving Neil McElroy found out enough to realize that Procter & Gamble, with its incentives for the ambitious, hard-driving organization man, was the place for him. He never got to business school, instead stayed on at P. & G., first as a soap salesman, then in the advertising department. In the early 1930s he had an offer from a big New York ad agency. "I'm not going to take it," he told a friend. "I'm going to stay with Procter & Gamble...
Letters poured in from his former pupils. "I want you to stay in school." wrote one little girl. "You always meet us at the door." wrote another, "and are so joyful." But last week, his savings gone, 52-year-old Bachelor Andersson began looking for another job, still determined, foolishly or not, never to sign the oath. "Too many people say 'Let George do it,'" he explains, "even in matters involving defense of individual freedom. Someone has to be George." But being George is not easy.

Best-informed and most influential military publication in the U.S., it is studied closely from Capitol Hill to the White House (where 34-year Subscriber Eisenhower's copy* comes every Friday through the mail), from far-flung foreign bases to Washington's wire-service bureaus, which cull frequent stories from the Journal and label them "authoritative." Because the Journal has high-echelon readership (56% of its subscribers rank above Army captain) and high standards...
Despite the time, money and effort that go into formal management training, some companies consider the whole thing a monumental waste of time. They feel, like Douglas Aircraft, that without any help from training schools, "the cream will come to the top and the skimmed milk will stay at the bottom." The management-training-school graduate, they point out, often faces a flock of frustrations on his return to work. "Lots of men feel that being sent to college is like being told they're going to be vice president," says one executive. "When it doesn't happen...
