    Greetings!
    In 1976 / 1977 “Research & Development” magazine published ten sequential articles penned by “Archibald Putt”, a pseudonym. The first article appeared in January 1976, titled “1: Putt’s Law”, which toward the end promulgates the “law” exactly as quoted above. Part of the associated conclusions: the most competent people remain on the bottom of the organization, while people of lesser talent rise to the top!

    Does anyone know how to get a copy or reprint of all these 10 series of articles, from 1/1976 through 7/1977?

    Thanks,
