This goes down with not only the Ned Beatty speech in "Network," but also the Alec Baldwin's "put the coffee down" speech in "Glengarry Glen Ross" as another classic art-imitates-life business document.

by the by, I've been watching the series Peaky Blinders........the 6th Season is new, and the storyline is this gangster trying to navigate his way thru the tides of Nazis and Commies in the early 1930s.
They have a Kennedy-esque character and even a real life historical figure named Oswald Mosley
