I have no earthly idea why, but the old musical-comedy came to mind, “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” It is, something of a genius comedy, though certainly not my favorite. I say genius because it is something of a miracle how it all worked out for the good at the end.

Thinking back over it, I am not sure how that happened. I guess I was too busy laughing to to remember it.

The main character is J. Pierpont Finch who starts out in the mail room and finagles his way to the top of the company by some rather irregular methods.

Thinking back over it, it makes me wonder. Maybe what some of the businesses in this country need are few more Finches. In the movie he certainly straightened out the one corporation.

I know. Just wishful thinking. Old Joe has infected so many of them with his communist ideas it just might have made it hopeless without a miracle.

If you haven’t seen the show, see it. It is well worth it even if you don’t musicals. You might even like 1 or 2 of the songs. Besides, we do need to cheer the real Finches on if they are to straighten anything out.
