...Security, Stupid No matter what the issue - terrorism, immigration or flat wages and higher taxes - the code word this election season is "security...
...acquisition created a radically altered and geographically scattered management team. Amelio is based in Raleigh with former IBMers; Yang and his team are in China with most of the manufacturing operations. Executives complain of midnight conference calls and perpetual jet lag. "Lenovo is really living in a flat world," says Amelio. Meshing Chinese and American corporate cultures hasn't been easy either.

Needless to say, the class’ female population describes him as very charismatic and his office hours are always packed. Although the class is difficult, most students (guys, too) find it quite worthwhile. The same is rarely said for Chem 27. Unfortunately, the material—the organic chemistry...
