Hi Willcousa, RE: "Dunlap...keep his employer out of trouble. This may entail moral as well as legal leadership. Many believe intel has done a better job of keeping out of trouble than most." At an SI lunch a few years ago, someone explained (forgot who) what Dunlap's secret sauce for success on avoiding anti-trust issues is. He intimidates the executives. Apparently, he runs around and scares the dickens out of people by jumping into their offices unexpectedly and demanding to investigate on the fly as if he were the gov't. Keeps the execs from even thinking about doing anything wrong and it sends the message that he's dead serious about getting after an exec if they even think about doing anything wrong. But I think the story about him carrying a baseball bat may have been a bit of an embellishment? Yes, he's definitely made Intel a safer investment in that sense. Just look at AT&T's stock chart in the 80s when the antitrust dept attacked it - they stayed flat for a decade. If five years flat is hard, try a decade. finance.yahoo.com Can he be cloned? Does he have to retire at age 65 too? Regards, Amy J
