Even New Age companies formed around feel-good management can't avoid it. In Portland, Oregon, Hanna Andersson, a mail-order retailer and maker of children's clothing revered for its mother-friendly workplace, recently let go 25% of its work force.

Or in 1994, when his wife notified the Veterans Affairs Department that they could stop sending her $900 a month in benefits as the widow of a Marine captain. His press spokesman says Cooley...
...example of several neophytes who have been drawn into politics by Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Kerrey is convinced that there is not enough new blood among his fellow Senate Democrats and so has persuaded successful, energetic businessmen like Sanders--among them Oregon's Tom Bruggere, South Carolina's Elliott Close and Idaho's Walter Minnick--to challenge Republican candidates...
