Last week Walter Hewlett, Bill Hewlett's son and the HP board member leading the fight against the Compaq merger, released a report on what the company should really be doing. Its main proposal: dump Fiorina. "She's burned a lot of bridges," Hewlett told TIME. "It's hard to see how she would survive."
