There were families present

'In 1964, for example, one of our branch managers staged a burlesque show at a sales conference in the Midwest.

The skit was too vulgar to believe--about an Indian village, starring the manager himself as the chief and some scantily clad models as squaws. They even had live chickens running around on the stage. At the end of the skit the manager disappeared with one of these models into a tepee, and as he turned to go into the tent, the audience saw a sign on his back that said something like "Branch Manager: I do all things for all people." Then he and the girl pulled the tepee flap closed behind them.

There were families present, and somebody who witnessed the show wrote me a letter saying, "Is this what you call IBM dignity?" So I started a big inquiry.'
