RE McDonnelDougalas takeover - I found this to be a pretty well written article going over the basics of what happened. I'm sure there's a book or in depth article floating around somewhere...or maybe not, people tend to be closemouthed about those things.

Good read. Thanks. I agree about the careful nature of things written about this. The blurry yet straight lines that seem to be able to be drawn from boeing upper-level to the political upper-level and even the president I think make this a rather dangerous subject to dabble in as a journalist.

I wouldn't be surprised if you never got a promotion after writing something like this because your boss' boss got a "call".
