...government concentrator in Eliot House. When she’s not chillin’ out, maxin’ or relaxin’ (all cool), you can find her playing sax or eating dinner really slowly. This Westchester, N.Y. native loves the work of Al Hirschfeld, Disney and John Cleese. Look for her cartoon on Fridays...
...Network. Burger King, for instance, posts allergy information on its website, hangs allergen-alert signs in franchises and is developing a staff allergy-training program. Outback Steakhouse advertises a gluten-free menu, and Flat Top Grill, a stir-fry chain, uses separate woks to prevent cross contamination. At Walt Disney World, allergic customers are invited to call ahead with their dietary restrictions. Dominique Tougne of Bistro 110 in Chicago has even mandated that food for allergic customers be prepared on uncontaminated surfaces and hand-delivered by the chef. Tougne--whose son has severe peanut allergies--still warns diners...
...same line to his TV. Instead of selling basic cable-style packages, which often force consumers to pay for channels they don't want, PCCW opted to offer a content menu that is almost entirely ? la carte.

Companies like Time Warner, Disney and Vivendi Universal are paying this as annual interest. TIME implied that I left "a slew of dubious new assets." The truth is that all the acquisitions under my leadership delivered the originally budgeted returns and Bertelsmann faced no write-off. You also wrote that Bertelsmann owner Reinhard Mohn...
...directors were never found to have had knowledge of the company's crooked bookkeeping. (The directors owned so much WorldCom stock that they lost $250 million in its collapse.) In any event, the settlement could influence penalties in other high-profile cases, such as the shareholder suit against Walt Disney Co. directors over the $140 million paid to former president Michael Ovitz. Charles Elson, director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, says the WorldCom deal could have a "chilling effect" by making it tougher to recruit directors. Elson himself is on three boards...
