Avery Bullard, President of the Tredway Corporation has died. But he never named a clear successor, so the Board members must choose a replacement. The most likely is Loren Shaw, a skilled businessman, but some of the others dont like his calculating ways. But to stop him, theyll have to find someone else they can back. Will it be the engineer Don Walling? That will take convincing, they dont trust his youth and idealism. And he isnt even sure he wants the job, he might be happier creating rather than politicking.
