re: McGinn and Fiorina come across as incredibly bright, focused, and driven individuals who have a very good grasp of the challenges that lie ahead for LU.

Generally agreed. But on the Fiorina point, while intense, smart,
I view her through admittedly somewhat unrosy glasses
of having been cast off into the Lucent-Philips cellphone joint venture, which came out of Lucent's former Consumer Products unit,
and then later terminated when the venture couldn't make it.

Not such a happy experience when you are on the receiving end
of hard business decisions, even though it was,
from a business perspective, the correct one.

Didn't someone say that there was a reputation
for being a hatchet-woman?

Ahhh, that felt good [controlled venting].

That being said, I STILL LOVE LUCENT.
