...caught up with economist Sylvia Ann Hewlett, who has studied these issues forever. She's the founder of the Hidden Brain Drain task force, a group of more than 50 companies--including GE, Goldman Sachs and our own mother ship, Time Warner--that are exploring how employers can hang on to the people they can least afford to lose. Especially when companies need to reinvent themselves to survive, she warns, they can't afford the huge costs associated with stressed-out talent: "It's not good for the bottom line," she says, "and it's not good for individuals...

That location, according to Stemm, helps clarify why the ship sank. "If it had run aground on the Casquets [an outcropping of rocks in the Channel], as historians have believed for over 250 years," he says, "it would have been because of a navigation error because the Casquets were far south of where the ship should have been.
