Harvard education itself is at stake. . . . The disregard for undergraduate teaching, the attack on faculty security and morale, the flouting of academic democracy...
...quit, who had later founded blazing Chrysler Corp. on the ashes of the dying Maxwell-Chalmers fire, had agreed to buy Dodge. The price suited Walter Chrysler, right down to the ground: $170,000,000 in new Chrysler stock. Without turning over a penny of cash Chrysler Corp. had taken over all the floor space and forge and foundry facilities it needed to drive from No. 5 in the industry to the No. 2 position it holds today.
