Hoisting the banner


The banner hung on the Green Monster in Fenway Park at the opening of the season commemorating the 2007 World Series victory may be bigger than mine but mine was hung with the same pride and joy felt in Boston. My banner is on the wall outside my apartment door in the Trailside Building at Franke at Seaside, Mt. Pleasant, SC, where it has already received a couple of compliments. Two of my sons gave me this during last weekend. A friend suggested a cafe curtain rod (instead of a dowel) and I added a light gold chain to the rod.

Wachovia

I believe KEN THOMPSON,Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wachovia Corporation, who has been in his current position for the past eight years ought to take a 40 percent cut in his annual compensation - since that is the amount Wachovia cut stockholders' dividends today.
