"All weightiness and reliability," says a satisfied Todd of his Angela and her new colleagues. Nor is he the only one impressed with Rippon: she recently received the Radio Industries Club's Newscaster of the Year award...
...first full-time chairman and chief executive under a sweeping reorganization that abolished the old board of governors. It was replaced with 21 directors-ten elected from the brokerage community, ten from the business community at large, plus the chairman. Directors thought that Needham's commanding demeanor and SEC background would help Wall Street in coping with change...
