Charles Elson, Edgar S. Woolard Jr. Chair and director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance, is quoted in a story on the front page of the March 22 Wall Street Journal concerning increased opportunities for democracy in the board rooms of the nation's corporations. Through the early 20th century, Elson said, "no shareholders or groups of shareholders had enough shares to dominate the board. There was a vacuum, and management filled that vacuum by nominating their own folks."

Also, Elson is quoted in a widely distributed March 21 Associated Press story concerning the Tyco annual meeting, which follows on the heels of corporate governance reforms. "They've established some guidelines for preventing what happened before from happening again," Elson told the AP. "It's a radically different company."

Roberta Golinkoff, H. Rodney Sharp Chair, is quoted in a March 16 Christian Science Monitor story concerning the ninth grade and difficulties encountered by educators with students in that year of school.

James Kolodzey, professor of electrical and computer engineering, is featured in a Feb. 16 EE Times story concerning his research in terahertz systems. Kolodzey is working in cooperation with a research group in Russia.
