...Rabbit. Like most outstanding Civil War leaders, Jackson was blooded in the Mexican War. A West Pointer ('46, with budding Union General George Brinton McClellan and the Confederacy's George Edward Pickett, who led the charge at Gettysburg), Jackson served as an artillery officer under Winfield Scott on the epic march from Vera Cruz to the heights of Chapultepec. It was wily General Scott who taught him the military secret on which all his future success was based: scout, flank and pursue. He early showed another trait-a stubborn insistence on perfection-that was invaluable on the battlefield...

Price, the man who hired him, continues to hold on to the top spot for the present, but indicated the shape of things to come by also stepping into the post of board chairman, vacant since 1951. Cresap, a Harvard Business School graduate (by way of Williams College), was helping boss his own Chicago-New York management-advisory firm when Gwilym Price dropped in to ask for a survey of Westinghouse...
