What Do You Think? Do Boomerang CEOs Get a Bad Rap? |
Several companies have brought back formerly successful CEOs in hopes of breathing new life into their organizations—with mixed results. But are we even measuring the boomerang CEOs' performance properly? asks James Heskett. |

"She can boomerang from Miss Manners to Archie Bunker in 30 seconds."
DAN MATHEWS,
a senior vice president for People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals, on Christine C. Quinn, the New York City Council speaker and a
candidate for mayor, who has reputation for having a temperamental
personality. 'Cheever: A Life'
By BLAKE BAILEY
This detailed biography follows John Cheever’s path step by stumbling step, disclosing the addictive urges and bawling self-pity to which he subjected himself and those in his household. (Knopf, $35.)
The year 1587 was the 220th of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The regime was declining but had not yet fallen. Earnest and learned men - generals and court eunuchs as well as Mandarin civil servants - were striving to hold things together, balancing the yang 陽of public duty against the yin 陰 of ambiguously legitimate self-interest.

5 だいだい色（の染料）.龔雅華: Mandarin 這個說法與"滿大人"無關，是梵文來 मन्त्रिन् (mantrin)來的，意思是官人。
感謝雅華嫷妹, 英文 Mandarin（中國國語/官話/普通話/華語）源自葡文 Mandarim ，
而葡文Mandarim 源自馬來文 menteri（朝臣、部長），而馬來文 menteri 又源自梵文mantrin（部長）。其傳播軌跡和 CHINA一樣，都是梵文－馬來文－葡文－英文（請過目另一拙文「CHINA源自梵文CINA」）。箇中來龍去脈究竟如何？
