...HAVE BECOME DISILLUSIONED WITH THE greed and ruthlessness that corporate America exhibits in the treatment of its employees. However, the story of Malden Mills owner Aaron Feuerstein, who kept his 2,400 employees on the payroll after a devastating fire [BUSINESS, Jan. 8] until his mill could be rebuilt, made me realize there are still employers left who care about more than the bottom line. Feuerstein recognizes that loyal and skilled workers are a lot harder to replace than machines. DALE GADBOIS Houston...

You all then pause and squint, trying desperately to decipher the images appearing on the 70-square-foot video-screen to the rear of the space; studying the near traumatizing effect of watching giant images fading...
...Bowman is not your run-of-the-mill broncobuster. But he is the winner of this year's All-Around Champion Cowboy title at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. Site of the only all-inmate rodeo in the nation, Angola is home to what the event's organizers tout as a "gang of crazy convict cowboys." Among them: all-around runner-up Johnny Brooks, right, who owes his title to skillful bull riding and a botched grocery-store robbery; and Terry Hawkins, a former butcher-shop employee who killed his supervisor with a hammer and went...
