That's fine with Citi's board. "What good is a high profile?" says Richard Parsons, who is CEO of AOL Time Warner (which publishes TIME) and a Citi director. "We need somebody who can actually do some stuff...
...core, the elevator is one of few social spaces where workers must confront one another—no matter how much they try to avoid it. Most would prefer a world where interaction is conducted exclusively over AOL Instant Messenger, an addiction easily concealed by computer screens and cubicles.

You can request daily or weekly reports that list the headers from messages that have been held up, giving you a chance...
...percentage of incoming junk mail before it lands in your In box. The junk is deposited into a separate folder from which you can retrieve messages that shouldn't have been blocked. True to its geeky heritage, Microsoft provides tools for custom filtering that offer users more flexibility than AOL's mail controls, though AOL is busy playing catch...
