...Lewis restored central management to a company whose dozen divisions once traveled in separate directions. Says he with a smile: "We used to have a so-called management board-but, oh boy, that's all gone." Lewis, who likes to chop wood on weekends to release some steam, hacked away heavily at the loose hierarchy and put his mark on almost every important activity. Though many business theorists contend that a top executive should have no more than eight men reporting directly to him, Lewis deals face to face with 24. He writes no memos, and his company...

The Tunnel stretched straight out before us. A downward slope took us back underground, and then we started the long walk under the river bank and expressway toward the Business School. An uneventful five minute walk brought us to the McCulloch Hall operating station, from which, after exchanging farewells with Dominic, we left subterranean Harvard and returned to the Harvard of everyday experience...
