Extract

Who wrote Alfred Sloan's My Years with General Motors?

a. Alfred Sloan

b. John McDonald

c. Alfred Chandler

d. A group of more than 20 persons, known and unknown

Fans of the old Groucho Marx quiz show might be tempted to choose answer a. John McDonald, in his posthumous memoir being reviewed here, argues for b. But I am inclined to think the best answer is d.
