When Schulz's "bunch of funny-looking kids" appeared on the cover of TIME magazine in April, "Peanuts" was embraced as the embodiment of the fundamental wisdom of the day.

In both cases, the chief executive predicted better earnings than he could deliver--twice in Jager's case, three times in McGinn's. At Gillette, director Warren Buffett, famous for his long-term...
...disillusioned young people swung toward Nader, who didn't seem to need or be asking for money. Who never asked for anything but their vote.
