Gibson, who joined ABC as a Capitol Hill reporter in 1975, never expected to preside over the network's flagship news program.

Then again, this is the same Ron Bloom who holds a Harvard MBA and once served as an executive vice president of the investment bank Lazard Freres & Co. And no, he sees no contradiction between his business career and his pro-worker activism...
