Three years ago, Barnett spent about $310 million of his money to buy Shaklee, a company that devoted itself to manufacturing earth-friendly products long before green meant anything more than a color made by mixing blue and yellow. Founded by California chiropractor Forrest Shaklee in 1956, the company introduced a nontoxic, biodegradable cleaner in 1960 and a phosphate-free laundry detergent in 1972 and sold lines of natural health supplements and skin-care products.

But she has become, I think, a symbol of women fighting back...
...Greta Garbo cast as a strong-willed woman censured by a straitlaced society. In the past 20 years, when women have achieved a measure of equality (except at the box office), the hero-victim has tended to be male, and the affliction has been mental, as in Rain Man, Forrest Gump and A Beautiful Mind. They're the movie equivalent of the orphan puppy that no one will adopt--except you, dear sensitive viewer...
