"Verbal bluntness and practical boldness are the marks of these three pieces by Henry Ford II. His bluntness is in happy contrast to the artful double-talk which comes from the effort to please everybody. Ambiguity is not a happy or respected refuge. And literary persiflage is not a successful camouflage for the lack of ideas. Here there is an honest effort to "tell it like it ought to be" even if that is sometimes different from "telling it like it is." Politicians, commencement speakers, hucksters everywhere would do well to take a leaf, any leaf, from this book." [From the Introduction by Kingman Brewster, Jr.] The three sections are titled: The Individual and the Establishment ~ Social Conscience and Profit ~ Business, the Environment, and the Quality of Life.
