William — Edwards — Deming. Does the name ring a bell? Probably not — unless you're Japanese. Deming, who died recently, was born in Iowa in 1900, but accomplished his major life work in Japan. Deming brought his management philosophy to Japan following World War Two, and, well — now we're all driving Hondas and listening to Sonys. Our next guest on The Source Report spent years learning from Deming. Clare Crawford-Mason is the co-author (along with Lloyd Dobbins) of the book Thinking About Quality: Progress, Wisdom and the Deming Philosophy. Welcome to The Source Report....Before I ask about Deming's philosophy, give us some idea how the Japanese people regard this man.

If Lawrence Welk, and singing cowboy, Roy Rogers, can have their own museums, then — by golly — rock and roll should have one as well! And now it does. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is scheduled to have its last beam hoisted into place next Thursday, July 28th, in Cleveland, Ohio. The director of this soon-to-be illustrious institution joins us now. Dennis Barrie, welcome to The Source Report....This is no small undertaking, is it?
