...have been willing to pour planes and material into the breach in order to help the British in their fight to stave off invasion. But that phase of the war is at an end. Already there is talk of counter-attack by England. Yet it is plain that England can never dislodge the German octopus from the continent of Europe without American aid--millions of American men to fight on the beaches of Brittany and the Channel coast, as well as American ships and planes. And it is equally plain that this is just the role that America is being...

One explanation is "Tut's" business philosophy: "Lower costs, lower prices, and your selling base is broadened." Whenever this policy failed to produce results, "Tut" turned salesman, left his plain, wood-paneled office, soon brought back a bulging order book. On "Tut's" customer lists are American Rolling Mill (which now owns 48.6% of the common stock, but lets Tuttle run his own show), Superior Steel, Sharon Steel, Pittsburgh Steel, Eastern Rolling Mill, Ford, Chrysler, many others. Sales this...
