- SOS
-
- Wanted: experienced computer executives willing to help a
- blue-chip CEO get out from under the worst crisis in company
- history. IBM has sent out such a Mayday. Answering the call were
- retired vice chairmen Paul Rizzo, 64, and Kaspar Cassani, also
- 64, who will help chairman and chief executive John Akers get
- Big Blue back on an even keel. Still unanswered, though, is the
- question of who asked the pair to return. Some analysts think
- Akers did it, to placate IBM's increasingly dissatisfied board.
- Others suspect the board brought Rizzo and Cassani back, as the
- first step toward easing Akers out.
