David O. Morgan

“Because he would not let things go, Terry had a doggedness which sometimes was very useful and sometimes could be an irritant to other members of the group, because I think in the dynamics of the group it’s counterproductive. Terry argued for too long; I think he’s probably aware of that himself. [There’s] a certain point where your own view has to be compromised for the unity of the group, and if you’re not prepared to do that, then I think very often the reaction against you is much stronger than it would be if you’d compromised in the first place—you actually lose more ground.”
