...Ticket sales for home games, which means that stadium size matters: it is no coincidence that Manchester United, which seats 76,000 at its Old Trafford ground, is the richest of the English clubs - Liverpool's Anfield stadium holds only 45,000, by comparison, which at ticket prices averaging around $80 means that United generates as much as $50 million more than Liverpool in annual ticket sales. High rollers like Real Madrid and A.C. Milan, not surprisingly, play in stadiums that hold upwards of 80,000 fans...
...capitalism. I'll also talk with CEOs about what their companies can do. One idea is to dedicate a percentage of their top innovators' time to issues that affect the people who have been left behind.

The most recent example of the generals' callousness came in May when Cyclone Nargis devastated the country's Irrawaddy Delta, leaving 138,000 people dead or missing and causing $4 billion in damage, according to an international assessment released on July 21. Yet instead of promptly accepting offers of help from around the world...
...happen, the image of Malone as anyone's No. 2 seemed strange. He will certainly be well rewarded for selling out to Bell Atlantic. His TCI and Liberty holdings would be worth about $1 billion in the merged company's stock, making the taciturn Connecticut Yankee one of the richest men in the country. With Smith as the front man, the deal distances Malone from some of his fiercest critics. He had become increasingly fed up with politicians and competitors who accused him of building his empire through ruthless, anticompetitive practices.
