In Case of Emergency, Break Glass Ceiling
Reading ''Who will step into Jack Welch's shoes?'' (News: Analysis & Commentary, Dec. 21) made me tired. Eight contenders for Jack Welch's successor are highlighted, and not a woman in sight. No women are mentioned in the article, although one senses the presence of Lorna Wendt as part of her husband's downfall. All of these men are young, certainly in the same cohort as many well-educated and highly experienced business women. The total absence of women in line for the top spot is pathetic and inexcusable in a company with the size, scope, vision, and success of General Electric.
