Sarnoff was reputedly a megalomaniac who hounded his underlings unmercifully. One of his supposed quotes was "I don't GET ulcers, I GIVE them..." After he got his general's comission for RCA's defense work in WW2-which he'd lobbied hard for, BTW, he insisted his minions at RCA start referring to him as "General Sarnoff".
