A Chat with John Economaki, Founder and President, Br

When 9/11 happened — and I knew from the first Gulf War, which by the way compounded my earlier problem with the savings and loan — I knew that was going to impact us. Because we don't make anything that people need, we make what they want. And I call it the CNN affect. If there's something unbelievable happening on CNN, my phones aren't going to ring. I just know this.
