We were both left-handed, which is the most important thing about a person. #4 I had been hired to find out why the Owl Drug Company was failing. I had learned all I could at Owl, and was afraid I would begin to lose my Stanford standards for management if I stayed. I quit and went to work for Hughes Aircraft as the financial planner for their Semiconductor Division.

Ethical Chic
How popular companies like Apple and Trader Joe’s project a hip, progressive image—and whether we should believe them Consumers are told that when they put on an American Apparel t-shirt, leggings, jeans, gold bra, or other item, they look hot.
