"sleeps with a chainsaw" Al? Of all the stupid things the American Medical Association has done during its disastrous fling with commercialism, choosing Sunbeam CEO Al Dunlap as its business partner has to be the most stupid. Dunlap's nicknames--preferred nicknames--are "Chainsaw Al" and "Rambo in Pinstripes," so you can scarcely imagine two more antithetical worldviews than his and the AMA's. The AMA pitches itself as America's selfless medical counselor, indifferent to the demands of the marketplace. Dunlap, by contrast, is the marketplace. The most coldblooded businessman around, Dunlap personifies the relentless logic of Wall Street. He champions efficiency and ruthlessness, and follows no higher principle than the value of his company's stock. If the market is controlled by an invisible hand, Dunlap is its iron fist. slate.msn.com
