The Final Word by Jim Thompson


Was I ever reminded recently that view equals perspective. I was in a couple of mills within a few days that were in the linerboard and tissue businesses. In each case, they were all smiles. Then I talked to some people from a newsprint mill. Wow -- what a difference your corner of the industry means to you. This all seems quite obvious and simple, but when one sees it up close and personal, it is really driven home.
