		One hundred years ago, my great-grandfather Henry Ford had a radical vision of the future. At a time when automobiles were reserved for the affluent, he foresaw a day when the average family could own a car, and use it to improve their lives. That vision put the world on wheels.

	Ford, Goldman ties eyed - Dec. 10, 2002

		William Ford's spokesman, Jim Vella, denied the allegation, telling the paper, "It's important to note that this was a personal business transaction, and totally unrelated to company business." A Goldman spokesman told the paper that Ford family members are longtime clients of the firm's private-client brokers and that the allocations were "entirely appropriate."
		The Times said William Ford's Goldman stake is worth more than his holding of Ford Motor common stock, although he and members of his family also own a large stake in Class B shares that give them enhanced voting rights.
