skyrocketed during the nineties, and some critics
say the inequity is damaging -- to corporations
and to the economy as a whole. Recently executive
compensation has increased even more because of
competition among companies for the best talent.
A panel talks about the growth of executive
salaries and other compensation, and how it
affects those at other levels of pay.

rescinded its "fatwah."
