...self-starter, he has far transcended tinkering gadgets. He is GM's visionary magician, perched on a high stool whose legs have grown longer and longer as the business has expanded, gazing into the future with the crystal ball of pure scientific theory. Forgiven and forgotten is his classic blunder of ten years ago, the air-cooled Chevrolet motor which cost GM 31 cool millions.
