Ling's lack of knowledge of the true casualty figures at Pearl Harbor: the Sunday school children killed in the so-called "balloon bombings," the civilian losses in the Philippines and the many thousands of civilian merchant seamen that were lost during the war.
Ling protests that attacks should be limited to military bases yet does not mention that Hiroshima was the main port of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

 TIME.com: Jim Ling Forced Out -- Jun. 1, 1970 -- Page 1
At a four-hour emergency board meeting, called at the insistence of LTV's nervous bankers, Ling stepped down as chairman and chief executive in favor of Robert Stewart III, a corporate rescue expert who is chairman of the First National Bank in Dallas.
Ling replaced Clyde Skeen as president of cash-strapped LTV, which had sales last year of $3.75 billion, and the company announced that Ling and Stewart will "share policymaking responsibilities." They are going to need all the policymaking skill they can muster, for rarely has so large a corporation been so close to financial disaster.
Jim Ling, to be sure, has been gambling on vast success−or flamboyant failure−ever since 1946, when he began building a tiny electrical-contracting business into a huge conglomerate.

By 1969, however, LTV began to experience financial difficulties and a growing anticonglomerate feeling in the nation that prompted an antitrust lawsuit against its further expansion.

 Ling-Temco-Vought - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With low interest rates allowing the company to borrow huge sums, Ling proceeded to build up one of the major 1960s conglomerates.
As long as the target company's earnings exceeded the interest on the loan (or corporate bond), or the company's price/earnings ratio was less than that of LTV's stock, the conglomerate became more profitable overall.
Share prices plummeted, sparking a bear market, and there was a general feeling that the conglomerates were to blame for the market woes.
