Lucent is not leaving any of this to chance--or to benevolent human nature. The new rule is that no one wins unless the company overall hits its targets--a mandate made imperative by Lucent's precarious state. So last year no one got bonuses. Once the company makes its numbers, it creates a kind of prize fund and divvies up the dough according to how a team performed and what each member contributed. A staff member on a successful team can make zilch or more than everybody else. But nobody gets anything unless his team wins...
...Unless the DOJ clips Orbitz's wings, the site is likely to put the squeeze on independent agents like Expedia. "Orbitz isn't going to put Travelocity or Expedia out of business, but it's going to stir up the pot," says Harteveldt, who expects Web travel sales to top $29 billion...

Texas Congressman Lyndon Johnson had himself shipped out to the Pacific for a little while during World War II and returned with a suspect silver star.

It was the war record, and the emaciated, boyish charm, that captured the ladies of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and sent him to the House...

In a sublimated and nonviolent way (unless you count the lamp), our nearest version to Phoolan Devi may be....Hillary Clinton. Her defining struggle was Bill Clinton (playing the roles of both her nasty husband and her robber-lover). Standing in (unsatisfactorily) for the robber gang, we have her moral smudges and various adventures ambiguously outside the law--billing records and all of that. But Hillary skipped the massacre, the rifle, the gallop across the plains...
