...were at least two of everything--pollsters, consultants, representatives. But Cahill was able to bring order to it all, she says, "because everybody who was around the table was familiar to me." And she let them all know they had to play by her rules. "There is no dissension--zero," says Whouley. "There is no second-guessing--zero. There is no leaking--zero...

And last November, Catholic Relief Services launched an effort to persuade...
...comes to stock performance? Absolutely. Ask David Bianco, an accounting analyst at UBS who has scrutinized earnings quality. He found that since 1998, the 50 companies with the best quality earnings have returns that were about four times that of the S&P 500 index. The bottom 50? Zero returns over the same period...
