Donner today plays a little golf, reads history, has few other interests. As can be said of most top U.S. executives, a co-worker said of him last week: "What he really thinks about all the time, day and night, is this corporation." Almost always, it is in financial terms. Meeting young G.M. executives for the first time, he is likely to ask afterwards: "How much are we paying that...

Yet even G.M., which started the trend to lengthy contracts by signing the first important five-year pact with the United Auto Workers in 1950, has been burned. In the first half of 1958, when earnings dropped by $147,700,000, its labor bill went up per worker, because of a cost-of-living rise.
