Faith in Ex-Siemens CEO 8/16/07
Article from the Wall Street Journal online

"The fundamental decision [Mr. Kleinfeld will] have to make is whether
to sell the company or build the company," says John Tumazos, a former
senior metals analyst with Prudential who now has his own firm, Very
Independent Research. Mr. Tumazos said he believes the company could remain

(Fortune Magazine) -- Until recently it seemed that Bob
Dylan's ballad "Girl From the North Country" would be the last vestige of
northern Minnesota's mining culture. The onetime world capital of iron ore
had buckled under competition from foreign mines, with layoffs beginning in
the 1980s and culminating in the 2001 bankruptcy of its second-biggest mine.
