Any modern executive must blend one part M.B.A., two parts shiny-toothed game show host (coif included), and a jigger of Bill Clinton at his slipperiest. "Well, (Maria / Ted / Ron), it's really not about (profits and losses / earnings and revenues / integers and decimals). It's about delivering (choice / value) and (building on / building a bridge to) the many core competencies of our (unique / revolutionary / space-age) business model to fully (realize / exploit / strike) the kinds of value-added (synergies / solutions) that will drive shareholder value (going forward / into the new millennium). As we are a people company focused on the future, we look ahead to modest (sequential / year-over-year / modified period-to-period) upside in earnings adjusted for two-time special charges unrelated to (yada1 / yada2 / yada3). Thank you." Warren Buffett:"The numbers on the facing page show just how poor our 1999 record was.
