As an example, in April 2019, ABB chairman Peter Voser stepped in as interim CEO of ABB. She would receive this $18 million regardless of how long she served as interim CEO. Ultimately, she served as interim CEO for a full seven months for the $18 million. The Nash-led BBWI board is now doing whatever it can to protect itself from having a shareholder representative on the board. If this goes the distance, we believe Third Point will show the BBWI board how powerful a good argument is.

Beyond the imaginary TV line that divides characters into good and bad, there's a more complicated reality that drives both sides to belong to a community, he said. “At its best, I understood why they were doing it,” Compte said, referring to the gang members that he knew from his neighborhood.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington. DePape told investigators that the House speaker was on a “target list” he had put together as part of a bid to “fight tyranny." He said he regarded Nancy Pelosi as the “leader of the pack” of lies told by the Democratic Party, the indictment said. Actor George Clooney, composer Tania León, singers Gladys Knight and Amy Grant, were among those to be celebrated at Sunday's Kennedy Center Honors, along with the members of U2.
