...years later, crisis management is proving harder than ever. (Just ask Don Imus.) The biggest change comes from the demands of always-on news. Companies now have to sweat not only the morning's headlines but endless blog postings and runaway video clips that can (and do) appear 24 hours a day. Even when there isn't much new information, blogs can keep a crisis alive--and smart companies must pay as much attention to them as they do to the national media...

On first listen, the mellow beats...
...wife Kristine McDivitt, a former CEO of the Patagonia clothing retail chain and wealthy in her own right, believe in deep ecology, a severe branch of the movement that believes in restoring the original ecological balance of the earth. Tompkins is fond of reminding listeners that unless runaway consumerism is halted "we humans will be building ourselves a beautiful coffin in space called Planet Earth." He sees danger signs in everyday objects. "Laptops, I use them, but they are very damaging to the environment. If we don't change our ways, you'll be left with a laptop...
