importance"One executive who decided that, after all, every major company president already had his own corporate aircraft, topped them all by arranging round-trip helicopter transportation from his front lawn directly to the company parking lot each morning and evening.

The true reason, of course, was that it gave him a feeling of importance that no amount of money could supply." (p. 170)
