Neuharth to Paulson: Hey, no pressure there!

Like rubbernecking past a car wreck, I can't resist octogenarian retired CEO Al Neuharth's weekly column, every Friday in USA Today.

While making a familiar point (slow times are good times to start a business) Big Al makes a prediction about his Newseum's future that probably cost incoming boss Ken Paulson his Cheerios this morning: "It will ride the recovery to become the No. 1 must-see attraction in the nation's capital."

  3. A large enough ego that he won't even update his column photo to something that represents what he actually looks like today.

  4. After making a statement like that it's about time for AHN to have a drug test, no?
