Simply, my impression, from close to 40 years of exposure to various TMO promotions and campaigns, is a different from yours. I would say the emphasis has primarity been on the individual.

Yes, I know. I was being, well, "smirkful". Jerry held positions of significant responsibility in the TMO. A few regional coordinators did also, at times, IMO. Some others (teachers) were impressed with their supposed importance. And many were not. And many just did what they could -- which often was a lot. > > "significant responsibility" -- sounds heavy.
