- <p> Domino's founder, Thomas Monaghan, 54, is known for making
- business decisions the same way he delivers pizzas: in 30
- minutes or less. Monaghan has now made another turnabout, ending
- a two-year spiritual retreat and firing the four executives he
- had placed in charge of his empire. Monaghan's explanation: A
- heavenly influence directed him to get back into the kitchen.
- "God will help him find the way," a Monaghan spokesman told the
- New York Times. But Domino's problems are pretty down to earth.
- Partly because of stiff competition in the pizza-delivery
- business, Monaghan was unable to find a buyer willing to pay the
- $1.2 billion he wants for the company. To emphasize his
- sincerity as he goes back to work, Monaghan said he may shed
- such possessions as his vintage-car collection.
