...fact, if the corporate malaise, with its many causes and symptoms, can be pictured as an elephant--that ever useful beast of analogy--then some of these folks have grasped it by the trunk, some by the tail and others by the ear.

In this short (41 min.) set, he makes the usual public issues of private parts, honeymoon tiffs and a persistent fan who cornered White and wouldn't shut up ("He raped my ear").
