...prospect of large-scale defections has sparked fears that the Japanese company might conceivably collapse. Such a closure could roil a global industry dominated by only four firms. The Financial Times last week reported that PricewaterhouseCoopers CEO Samuel DiPiazza, anxious to head off speculation, sent an e-mail to his firm's managing partners urging them to reassure their international clients that the effects on the parent company would be minimal...
...rely for the defense of their country on a simple perception: that an opponent doesn't dare make an aggressive move for fear of devastating consequences. Peaceful negotiations through sustained diplomacy seem to be the only viable way out of this threatening situation.

The CLC, should it miraculously persist into next fall, with its authority relegated to the CEB, will be left impotent and without a mandate. As for the prospect of an OSC, every UC member should be responsible for reaching out to his/her constituents, as part of his/her representative duty. Creating such a committee would exculpate our elected representatives from direct accountability to our interests. Moreover, it seems ironic and disingenuous that the UC is discussing the creation...
