Krissy:

It is reasonable to say that frequently Gusella is less than clear in his communication when he deems it to his advantage to be so. One of the problems when any company has a leader so entrenched in their position that they are virtually secure and therefore not subject to the normal levels of concern appropriate to the pursuit of excellence and openness that one would normally expect! If there is any doubt, just check the timing and content of statements released late last year through the early part of this year regarding the problems GD experienced and how those statements declined to state any reason for the problems which were manifest.
