...alone. It sits in fourth or fifth place in terms of market share. Giants like Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) top that list. Sun has no chance of ever making it to one of the top three spots. The company has already fired thousands of people, so it is lean, maybe too lean to grow. IBM has been watching Hewlett-Packard become a more formidable competitor. And, Cisco (CSCO) recently said it would get into the high-end server business. The number of huge companies that want a piece of IBM's business seems to be growing. IBM gets new technology...
When you started the book, did you lean one way or another in terms of whether or not you believed in the possibility of exorcism? I came at this topic very journalistically, not having an opinion for or against it. I wanted to really understand what it is and why the church still believes in it.

We have been doing this for the past 10 months, beginning with our cover stories "Surviving the Lean Economy" and "Job #1: The Economy" during the presidential campaign. And we've been doing it ever since, not with opinion and conjecture but with reporting on the ground and a concern for how all this is affecting real people's lives. We did that last week with...
...However, Italians don’t just tear things down without a plan. We build them up, so they can lean over due to soil erosion. We have substantive ideas, and we were humble enough to scrap those that only honored our culture: Vespas, the Pope, “The Lizzie McGuire Movie,” Rocky Marciano/Rocky of “Rocky” fame, and Chef Boyardee. Even after discarding those, we have some great ideas that will represent Harvard much better than the Orange reactionary we currently have...
