It is the call on Friday afternoon that informs you that the state department of healthbelieves your product has sickened tens of thousands of people. It is the static-filled call fromoverseas telling you that your organization s state-of-the-art refinery is currently a fireball. It isthe call from one of your outlying offices telling you that 12 agents in nylon jackets havearrived to execute a search warrant.
