...deck as the Delta Queen paddled down the river, mostly at a stately 3 m.p.h., the President bobbed up at each toot from the flotilla of pleasure craft that escorted the Queen. Many times he restlessly scanned the tree-lined green bluffs through binoculars; whenever he detected something that might be a waving arm, he lifted his arm in instant response. One afternoon he leaped atop a rickety deck chair to wave, and almost catapulted himself into a swan dive over the rail...

"The objective," he intones, "is to reward those who make the business possible by investing their capital in it: the shareholders." That view might seem outrageous, were it not that customers give generally high marks to Citizens' service. Remarkable in the unglamorous utilities business, Citizens last year earned a walloping 19% after taxes on revenues of $108 million from sales of electricity, water, gas, telephone, and sewage services to some 500 communities...
