Another thing could have been the bitter animus between Sarnoff & Cdr. Eugene McDonald of Zenith. McDonald was a patrician WASP & Sarnoff was a Russian Jew who was, well, I guess "abrasive" would be about the kindest way to describe him. RCA could afford a lot more technical staff than Zenith could, & I think Sarnoff enjoyed getting the good Commander's goat as often as he could.-Sandy G.
