THAT about hit it on the head. The apochrophal quote of Sarnoff's I always liked was: "I don't GET ulcers, I GIVE them !" But give the devil his due-w/o flamboyant characters like him leading the way, radio & home entertainment might not have gotten as big as quickly. It IS a shame what he did to Armstrong, however, even though Armstrong apparently was about as bull-headed as Sarnoff was.
