An Inside Look At Sony

Sony was the creation of two men–Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita–who first met in 1944 and worked together for 40 years. Ibuka, the older of the two, was an electrical engineer, one of those people who can make something magical from string, sealing wax and an old battery. Morita was the oldest son of a distinguished family–sake brewers–and steeped in the precise, feudal practices of old Japan.

An Obama Clinton Ticket

With wins in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, the momentum this morning may belong to Hillary Clinton. But thanks to Democratic Party’s gratuitously fair system, the delegate count barely changed after last night’s white-knuckle victories–meaning the math still favors Barack Obama.
