>>> The Bottom Line

"High-rise offices, ritzy hotels and martinis are but one sign of wider change. Rising executive salaries and fat Wall Street portfolios are another. So, too, is a costly reliance on fund-raising consultants for financial success. Put the pieces together and you find a movement estranged from its past, one that has come to resemble the corporate world it often seeks to reform." -Tom Knudson, "Environment Inc." Sacramento Bee.
