...hiring and promotion policies, most notably in a 1991 lawsuit in which a California jury awarded $17.6 million to a female Texaco employee who sued after the company denied her promotion and gave her job to a man, a reprimand last year by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs for unfair employment practices at its Houston facility and an investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in June that found reasonable cause to believe that Texaco discriminates against some blacks in the organization. In other words, the company's shareholders have had ample time to realize that there...
Last year Texaco was reprimanded by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs for unfair employment practices at its facilities in Houston. And just this past June, the EEOC, which conducted its own investigation of the complaints covered by last week's settlement, found there was reasonable cause to believe that Texaco discriminates against blacks in certain salary categories "because of their race...

In person he seems more fragile than one might expect, with his thin frame and delicately eyelined eyes. When he speaks, his voice is deep and soft. "This record is very personal to me," he says about Emancipation, a 36-song...
...also resolved his anger toward Warner Bros. He calls his 1992 contract with the company "a learning experience." The Artist wanted to release more than one CD a year; Warner Bros. thought that would dilute his work. The company also released two CDs of Prince material against his will--The Black Album (1994), a sharp-tongued CD that parodied rap and that Prince had famously shelved; and the uneven Come (1994), a collection of outtakes. The Artist was not amused...
