...company's focus was adrift. It had dabbled in creating content, a strategy it later cut back on, and had fallen further behind Google in generating revenue from its huge audience. Last November an agent provocateur emerged in Brad Garlinghouse, a senior vice president, whose leaked memo became known as the Peanut Butter Manifesto. He argued passionately that Yahoo! was wasting its talent by distributing its resources like peanut butter on a widening slice of bread. "The result: a thin layer of investment spread across everything we do and thus we focus on nothing in particular," Garlinghouse wrote. "I hate...
...Already, the site claims to have received 1.2 million documents, which will be available when Wikileaks goes live some time in the next two months. As an example of what to expect, the site's organizers posted a memo on civil war policy issued in November 2005 by the Somalian Islamic court system's Office of the Chief of the Imams. Wikileaks also posted a 17-page analysis of the memo. According to Dr S. Samatar, professor of African History at Rutgers University-Newark, the analysis is "very well-written, but is out of date because events have since overtaken...
...former Iraqi tyrant, Saddam Hussein. Given the bloodbath that has ensued since the invasion and the sectarian violence that has taken hold in the region, this reaction comes as no surprise.

When Ford became Vice President in the fall of 1973, Zeoli began sending him a weekly devotional memo that would be waiting on Ford's desk on Monday mornings. It always had the same title--"God's Got a Better Idea"--and began with Scripture (always from the King James version, Ford's preferred translation) and ended with a prayer. Zeoli sent 146 devotionals in all, every week through Ford's presidency. "Not only were they profound in their meaning and judicious in their selection," Ford said, "I believe they were also divinely inspired." Beyond the memos, Zeoli and Ford...
...little over a month ago, an internal Bush Administration memo written by National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley wondered somewhat naively whether Maliki might be a "witting participant" in "an aggressive push to consolidate Shia power and influence" in Baghdad. Shi'ite power, after all, is the raison d'etre of the ruling Shi'ite alliance; Sistani ensured that all the major Shi'ite parties contested the election as a bloc in order to guarantee the Shi'ites a share of political power congruent with their demographic majority. Shi'ite-power, far from a hidden agenda, was the winning ticket...
