...caped crusader. "I've never seen him try to push an agenda," says Black. Buffett's efforts tend to be understated. But now that he's becoming more vocal about his beliefs, he can expect more opposition. In an op-ed article in the Wall Street Journal, Harvey Golub, a director at Dow Jones and former CEO of American Express, has already argued that stock options should not be regarded as an expense on a company's books. Intel chairman Andy Grove spoke for much of the tech world last September when he told the Conference Board that "stock options...
Creditors want to get paid, shareholders want her out, and the SEC is looking into the company's accounting practices, but in defending her turf, Wachner could well redefine tenacious.

Golub says of his specialty, for example, "We're trying to understand why some men die with prostate cancer rather than of prostate cancer, whereas others have aggressive disease that kills them...
...Threads of Dissent" tapestry exhibition at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Oct. 22,1999-Jan. 30, 2000) is either a contradiction in terms or a play on words. The show brings together modern tapestries by six contemporary artists--Murray Walker, Lilian Tyrrell, Leon Golub, Edward Derwent, Wojciech Jaskolka, and Jorge Pardo--who use the antiquated medium of tapestry-making as a vehicle for social commentary. Although criticisms of modern society is touted as the exhibition's concept, the show in reality places more emphasis on 'descent' rather than 'dissent'--more preoccupied with showcasing the at times overly-forced geneology connecting...
