Insurers, which are probably facing a bill of more than $30 billion for the costliest disaster ever, won't need such drastic measures to survive. That doesn't mean, though, that they are not hurting. Warren Buffett's General Re reinsurance outfit stands to lose about $2 billion, and European giants Munich Re, Swiss Re and AXA aren't far behind. Direct underwriters such as AIG, Chubb, Travelers and Hartford could lose hundreds of millions of dollars each. Many underwriters have jacked up the premiums for airlines and are sure to slash the level of coverage available for damage...
...like. She doesn't objectify the person, she objectifies the ideas we all have about minority identities. She shows her audience the extent to which they stereotype-and marginalize-themselves.

Perhaps, in retrospect, Immelt should have dressed a little snazzier for his coming-out party last November. Despite the fact that he and his boss both showed up wearing the same casual outfit--slacks, sports jacket and blue open-collared shirt--Immelt isn't a Welch clone. Where Welch is known for a blowtorch temper, Immelt is low-key and understated--more likely to tease employees than scold them to get his point across. "If you, say, missed your numbers, you wouldn't leave a meeting with him feeling beat up but more like you let your dad down," says...
