BizWeek Letter To Editor On Walter... by: anzerguy2001 02/22/02 05:07 pm Msg: 94202 of 94210 Following letter to editor appears in March 4, 2002 issue of Business Week. "ANOTHER LOOK AT WALTER HEWLETT" "What's the truth about Walter Hewlett?" (Information Technology, Feb. 11) accurately depicts my friend and colleague as serious-minded and being thoughtful. I have, however, been offended by Hewlett-Packard management's effort to dismiss him as a "musician and academic." He is all that and much more--including having a brilliant analytical mind and a thorough understanding of technology and the rapid pace of change. For the past five years, I have worked closely with Walter B. Hewlett on the Board of Overseers of Harvard University. He headed the committee on technology and has been immensely helpful to Harvard [and] an outstanding member of the board. With Walter Hewlett's vast family holdings of HP stock, he has far more incentive to do the "right thing" for shareholder value than HP's existing management. His actions are solely directed at increasing shareholder value. He is devoid of personal aspirations in these matters. I applaud his courageous stand against a management that has unlimited access to the corporate checkbook to pay for full-page advertisements seeking to portray opponents as being "out of touch" and for the "status quo". [signed] Richard H. Jenrette, New York [Editor's note: The writer is co-founder of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Inc. and former CEO of Equitable Companies Inc.]

lean inventry &ovrhead..RECOVERY RISING by: investment_researcher (41/M) Long-Term Sentiment: Strong Buy 02/24/02 10:25 pm Msg: 274161 of 274161 A DELUGE OF ECONOMIC DATA COULD GIVE STOCKS THE IMPETUS TO MOVE HIGHER THIS WEEK NEW YORK (CNN) February 24, 2002 - A developing story is in the works for U.S. investors. Analysts say the state of the economy warrants its fair share of Wall Street's attention, and could surely get it this week. If that's true, it could -- perhaps -- flush out the insidious nervousness that's plaguing the market. "The barrage of economic data will be the one saving grace for the markets this week," said Barry Hyman, chief investment strategist with Ehrenkrantz King Nussbaum. "The markets has got to make a statement, whether it wants to continue to concentrate on accounting and trust issues or the growth story for the economy in 2002. "A lot hinges on the numbers. If they're good, the market rallies."

Although I voted "FOR" the merger, I doubt that it will be approved. El
