...underwater animal’s superior lens system to man-made optics.“It is really stealing the principle from biology,” she says.Aizenberg, a 47-year-old mother of two who emigrated from Russia in 1991, comes here from Bell Laboratories at Lucent Technologies. She will become the McKay professor of materials science, and says the potential to further her multidisciplinary work is what is bringing her back to the academy.“As my research becomes more and more disciplinary, the necessity for cooperation increases, and Harvard would be the best place...
...called the New Commission on Skills of the American Workforce, released Thursday in an all-day event in Washington, D.C. The commission of heavyweights included four former cabinet secretaries, the president of the American Manufacturers Association, the chancellor of the California State University system, executives from Viacom Inc. and Lucent Technologies, and other government and education leaders.

The company needed to reposition itself in a new, networked environment. Fiorina grew up within AT&T and its equipment-making spin-off Lucent Technologies, so she was well versed in the dangers of cultural inertia. At Lucent, she had emphasized speed and aggressive sales targets. "Have I taken risks through my whole life? Yes," she told TIME in a 2002 interview. "The risk that is not worth taking is to do the easy...
