Kann's head is not the only one some want to see on a platter. Three weeks ago, the board met, without management, to discuss among other things the continued role of Kann appointee Kenneth Burenga as COO of Dow Jones and CEO of Dow Jones Markets...
Dessert being the natural finale to the food fiesta, be sure to save room (or blow your diet and your waistband all to hell for the fun of it) for Triple Sorbet or a sampling from the Chocolate Platter, among other delicious offerings (all reasonably priced...
