"The Gov'nor," as employees call him, still arrives at his red-carpeted office every morning at 7:45, works through till 5 or 6 p.m. His principal worry now is that few other British executives are equally energetic and that British entry into the Common Market could be disastrous unless his countrymen learn to work harder.
