Sorensen, Danish-born, came to the company in 1904, has heard all the dreams of Henry and Edsel, and translated them into cars off the production line, planes winging from Willow Run. Bennett is no production man. Upon his pugilist's shoulders has rested the Atlantean task of protecting the empire from anything which Henry Ford wants it protected from. Hired to guard the Rouge...
