...pair of pants. Taken under wing by a Catholic mission, Mike learned English, toiled at many odd jobs and made his way to the University of Albuquerque. While working the night shift as a clerk at a bank, he met Jackie, who was also employed there, and fell in love. They married when Jeff was four...

But that didn't do anything for Coke's stock price, which fell $4.125 a share last Monday on the news of Ivester's retirement--a 6% drop that knocked $9.9 billion off the company's market value--and dropped 75[cents] more by Friday's close...
