what you might have missed

Qwest's CEO Dick Notebaert defended founder Phil Anschutz and another former board member, Cy Harvey, from shareholder Gerald Armstrong, who tried to suggest at the annual meeting this week that their departures from the board were somehow linked to shareholder dissatisfaction. Notebaert said they were good assets to companies, while Armstrong responded, "yes, i think they also brought us joe nacchio" or something to that effect. Armstrong also took issue with Notebaert's pay, which topped $4 million in salary and bonus alone last year. ("How much do you need to live on anyway? Can't you get by with a few million less?")
