He lamented: "In the days of its glory Le Pavilion was the ultimate French restaurant . . . The waiters now seem to collide with less grace than they did in former days...
After 19 months of valiantly trying to adjust to Ford Motor's more freewheeling style of management, Knudsen was fired. This time Henry Ford split the job of president into three parts and gave lacocca only one of them, with the ponderous title of executive vice president of Ford Motor Co. and president of Ford North American Automotive Operations...
