...gravel road in an old-growth forest with a broad, paved highway. Although there is no "Endangered Habitat Act," Phillips and other environmentalists were able, sometimes, to wrap the Endangered Species Act around old-growth forests. Two endangered birds, the spotted owl and the marbled murrelet, nest in the moss-grown upper limbs of the ancient trees. Phillips is awed by the murrelet, a seabird that flies to Washington's forests--farther away every year because of logging--to feed its young...
...Vikings' recent success has heightened public scrutiny of the character of the team and provoked questions about Green's judgment. In the NFL draft earlier this year, he shocked the league when he picked Moss in the first round. Fans of Green's retort that he has pushed hard this season to reform his bad boys.

"I saw a guy who had made some mistakes but was willing to fight it out," Green says of his decision to draft Moss. "Being an inner-city guy myself and having to fight for everything I've ever had, I felt that I understood...
These male perceptions of the women they work with were first identified in 1977 by Rosabeth Moss Kanter in her pioneering work Men and Women of the Corporation. Her descriptions often still hold; they are confirmed by the women themselves. We have the stories, the surveys and the numbers. If our woman has neared the top in the FORTUNE 500, our research tells us she is probably a staff officer. If she is a top earner, she is one of 63 women...
