- 484: Coke
- ... one illustrates PepsiCo’s altogether different strategy, which has involved pouring billions of dollars into capital-intensive businesses like restaurants. Goizueta slides open the drawer and riffles through the papers. "I threw it out," he says nonchalantly. Raising his eyebrows, he dismisses the world’s most famous No. 2 with trademark dispassion.

- ... and by which to live.” Heywood Broun Heywood Broun sold his first short story, “The Fifty-First Dragon”, to the New York Tribune. It was written during the post-Great War period and as such reflected the amount of empty propagandizing the Americans did to entice young people to join the war effort. It can in fact be argued that, as Broun puts it in his 1939 Nutmeg preface to this story, “The story says that an empty slogan is better than no slogan at all... but it is a doctrine on which some of the most dangerous causes in the world have been founded.” When the United States entered the war in 1917, the nation was deeply divided. President Woodrow Wilson had just won re-election partly because of the ...
