| 12. Excerpted March
20, from Bloomberg News by Michael Lewis: "The Harvard Business Review has never pretended to be anything
other than what it is -- a mechanism for making business sound really, really complicated,
and for making business people feel as if they are deep thinkers. And in any case,
so many business journalists have figuratively crawled into bed with Jack Welch for so
many years it seems less a shock than a satire that one intrepid woman did it literally.
Anyway, I find it hard to become worked up by the
journalistic-ethics angle of the story. What's interesting to me is how thoroughly
Jack Welch has been trussed up by his wife." |
