How later courts describe this case
- judgment n.o.v. is only proper when the evidence is so strong that reasonable minds could not differ as to what the evidence showed
- personal beliefs, conjecture and speculation are insufficient to support an inference of age discrimination.
- “To make out a prima facie case, the plaintiff must show that he was in the protected age group (40-70), that he was discharged, that he was qualified for the position and that he was replaced by a younger person.”
