Perhaps the most stinging charge is that Eisner has repelled corporate talent, particularly anyone with CEO potential. Disney has suffered an exodus of executives during his tenure. Its cast members no longer include execs like Paul Pressler, now at Gap; Geraldine Laybourne, who quit to co-found Oxygen Media; and Jeffrey Katzenberg, the man behind The Lion King, who co-founded DreamWorks. Comcast's No. 2 executive, Burke, is a fast-track escapee. He spent 12 years at Disney and proved himself a skilled executive by recharging Disney's consumer-products division (it faltered after he left) and reviving Euro...
...single decision in Kerry's long Senate career has been so avidly dissected as his vote authorizing President Bush to use force against Iraq. It was votes like his that gave rise to Howard Dean; his insurgent campaign drew most of its early oxygen from voters angry at the Democrats in Washington, who seemed unable or unwilling to keep the President on any kind of leash. Cynics noted that all the Democrats with national aspirations--including Edwards, Lieberman, Kerry and, down the road, Hillary Clinton--had voted for the war. In Kerry's case, it was viewed as an antidote...
Lovley's dual pursuits of scientific exploration and natural surroundings led him straight to the discovery of a group of remarkable microbes he named Geobacter, which breathes rust instead of oxygen, thrives in polluted earth and can even generate electricity. When Lovley first found Geobacter in silt beneath the Potomac River in 1987, he had no idea how capable it was. "I never thought it would go this far," says Lovley. "But Geobacter can do so many things...
...there be much research on the effects of long-term spaceflight on human health--not with the small crews and relatively short stays the station can accommodate. Its current crew does little with its time but maintain hardware and fix problems, the latest being a worrisome oxygen leak that has so far bled away 4% of the station's air since it sprang in late December...
Another good reason to go is the one disdained by straight-to-Mars boosters: learning how to live off the land--manufacturing some of what we need from soil that contains oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium and titanium, plus a dusting of helium, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon deposited by solar winds...
