...goal of this sort of approach is to accelerate the way an economy naturally comes out of recession. Since there has been less demand for goods and services, firms hesitate to add workers. Instead, companies squeeze more productivity out of their current ones. This is a trend we've been seeing.

Burned by a brash, freewheeling interview in GQ early in his career, he shrank from the spotlight even while courting it to augment his fortune. He shut out the press, cloistered his family in ritzy enclaves, abhorred distractions. This...
