...Nokia-Ericsson rivalry has an added intensity; it's hard to overstate the national importance of Ericsson. Founded in 1876, it was for many years Sweden's largest business, and a symbol of the nation's remarkable agility in the high-tech arena. But the pride of Swedish industry and the country's leading exporter has become a penny stock.

And shame especially on the friends of Pring-Wilson who try in The Crimson article to pass off his killing another human being as another manifestation of the pride and determination that has helped him achieve so much.
