    A well-known 1930 result of Taketa states that M-groups are solvable. Recall that a finite group is an M-group if every irreducible character of the group is induced from a linear character of some subgroup. Clearly primitive characters of M-groups are necessarily linear. In the paper under review, the author proves two interesting generalizations of Taketa's result. First, if all primitive characters of a finite group are linear, then it is solvable. Second, if all nonmonomial irreducible characters of a finite group have the same degree, then it is solvable. The author actually proves a slightly more general version of these results involving normal subgroups. The proofs depend on CFSG.
