Enter Mr. Cunningham, who wasn't content with Harvard's three-seat lead at that juncture. "Before we lost the momentum of the 20," Pickering recalled, "Kev quickly shouted out a power-ten on top of it."

His tactic-phoning U.S. Steel's competitors and persuading them to announce smaller increases-forced U.S. Steel to roll back its own hike. Bosworth's 20 COWPS officials have now begun gathering cost data to give the council a clear picture of just how much prices can be hiked...
