...high school. Even as a member of a fraternity at Hamilton, Lafley was known as a consummate consensus builder. Around P&G, he is admired for being unusually approachable and a great listener. Unlike Jager, who alienated his top managers so much that they stopped keeping him in the loop, Lafley "wants to hear any bad news--and as a result, he hears far less of it," says Gary Stibel, CEO of the New England Consulting Group and a longtime P&G watcher...
...every five people who suffer a heart attack gets severely depressed.

There, boardwalks loop through clouds of steam and around the three springs. A tangle of steel pipes directs the water to hotels and resorts in the nearby towns of Unzen and Obama, the destinations of choice for Japan's honeymooners, the elderly seeking respite from their rheumatism and anyone preferring a soak to a hike...
