Absolutely! While that article was interesting, it didn't change the
basic facts as I understood them. I always understood Eaton to have
been conniving in this thing. He got what he wanted, and sold
Chrysler down the river. He probably did some lying- but Schrempp is
the master liar.
I got in a major argument in the forum at pickuptruck.com with some
bonehead who was saying that Chrysler was a failure of a company, and
we had no right to whine because Daimler bailed them out. He
wouldn't believe me that Chrysler was profitable before the "merger",
as he couldn't see why they would agree to the merger if that were so.
EATON'S SELF INTEREST! I explained ad nauseum.

Definitely a very intersting article. In fact, I have just ordered
the
book from amazon.com.
However, just because Eaton was a wimp doesn't make it
right. Schrempp
lied, plain and simple, this whole idea was a bad one from the start,
and
those people interested in seeing it through (Schrempp, Eaton, and
probably
others) did whatever they could to sneak it by the
shareholders. (Anyone
remember the shareholder report where they tried to skew the truth by
using
two different currencies?) Eaton walked away with a big fat check
and left
Chrysler to rot.
Care2 make the world greener !
