I seriously missed not being able to put on this CD or that CD and hear what I wanted to. And of course, the lack of any females in the environment was also not too great...
Take General Electric. Its Ecomagination initiative centers on a line of 45 green products, including wind turbines and next-generation jet engines that go easy on the earth but land nicely on the balance sheet. Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt set a goal of generating more than $20 billion in revenue from Ecomagination by 2010, and by 2006 the company had hit the $12 billion mark...

...Giuliani takes a similar approach to his signature issue, the fight against terrorism. Those memorable images of September 2001, Giuliani dusted with the soot of fallen buildings and atomized aircraft, give him automatic standing on this powerful topic in every corner of the country. Traveling by private jet (Gulfstream IV or better, his contract stipulates) and charging $100,000 for each speech, Giuliani reassures audiences that all America requires to prevail is confidence...
