A PUBLIC APOLOGY

Admitting when I am wrong...

After being taken to task at a recent seminar in Washington, I found my arguments were without enough valid substance to continue with my position.
Being a man means also admitting when you have erred.
Henceforth, I admit that General Motors is the most generous employers in the nation and, in fact, makes people like Honda and Toyota look like slave-drivers and greedy pick-pocketers.
After the fateful day of 9-11, according to a subsequent Wall Street Feature column, it was, in fact, G.M. that picked up our sluggish economy and carried it so far.
Being a man of conviction also means understanding when you are wrong.
This has nothing to do with my other beliefs. Only to clarify a point.
Your Friend,
Michael
