Sarnoff was legendary in his own mind. But he DID have the drive, foresight, & enuff technical understanding to basically start, almost singlehandedly, the broadcast industry.But he WAS a ruthless sonofabitch-witness his needless personal destruction of Major Armstrong, the inventor of FM, who had been one of his closest friends. Another quote attributed to him was "I don't get ulcers-I GIVE them..."and his insistance on being called "General" after the war, offer evidence to this. Sarnoff, Henry Ford, & a few others,we're not likely to see their likes again.-Sandy G.
