...present at a Bell & Howell foremen's meeting in the late 1950s at which Chuck Percy spelled out employee racial integration in vigorous terms (and over a few dead bodies). My family and I benefited substantially from the comprehensive employee medical coverage that this Christian Scientist fostered. His success in meeting low-cost foreign competition with quality amateur movie equipment-while paying factory help scale or better-was a milestone in U.S. business.

I don't overrate these people, but one drunk can interrupt a Mass; a rotten egg can silence Hamlet, and a stink bomb can empty a theater...
