The Men Who Got Us Here, Part I

From the New York Times:

"Arthur R. Taylor, a former corporate wunderkind who became president of CBS at 37, unloaded an underperforming network-owned property, the New York Yankees, and then, as a sometimes nettlesome overachiever, was fired by William S. Paley, the imperious CBS chairman and founder, died on Dec. 3 in Salisbury Township, Pa. He was 80."

Remember when Cashman was a wunderkind? Oh, man, those were the days.
