...about packing--the canteens, the flak vest, the gas mask, the extra socks. "I have about 18 pair with me," Beets says, because "you can't put a price on comfort."

AOL shareholders who got out made out, but three years later the combined company's stock is down to $15 from $72 and the AOL unit is still looking for a model that can come close to the dizzying growth rates of the past. Throw in several ongoing investigations into accounting at the pre-merger AOL and the suspicion that in the end, it was only the hard assets of Time Warner that have saved...
