It adds that the overwhelming majority of its clients are satisfied customers, noting that fewer than 1% file "official...
...response to the misdeeds of corporate ceos [Nation, Aug. 12] reminds me of Claude Rains' famous line in Casablanca. As Captain Renault, Rains closes down Humphrey Bogart's casino and says, "I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"--just as the crooked roulette dealer hands him his winnings.
