As has been said this was an indeed a bitter rant and many of the statements made were contradicted by his later actions. I am reluctant to speak ill of the dead but take exception to the allegation that he was lied to by Edsel Ford. Having had the pleasure of working for Edsel for many years I have to say that I have rarely met anyone ( certainly not at that level in a large corporation ) who is as honest, straight speaking and ethical as he is.
