Yeah because all of those can't be due to a booming postwar economy. Cheap loans, you say? So to keep Kodak quiet, the US government put pressure on some banks to give cheap money to Kodak so that to keep a few folks in one company quiet they'd have to deal with keeping a load of analysts, bank managers, and supervisors quiet in a plethora of banks? Pressured to leave for political leanings? You mean in an an organisation with a considerable number of possibly left-leaning academics on the eve of McCarthyism? Did they buy other companies? Gosh, I'm sure Kodak wasn't into the whole M&A thing. Et cetera, do you see my point?
