Miserly Big Spenders?

Warren Bennis’ Viewpoints column on Feb. 8, “Doing Damage at NBC: The Wrong Approach by Mr. Wright,” justifiably took Robert C. Wright to task for his pinch-penny methods of managing NBC, to which Wright was recently posted by the network’s new owner, General Electric. It seems, however, that Wright and his GE biggies have a different standard when it comes to personal perks, as related in the Neil Morgan column in the San Diego Tribune on Feb. 9: “Delegates to the General Electric convention just ended at Hotel Del Coronado built a reputation among staff as the hotel’s biggest spenders ever.”
