  Money | Pay battle opens at Standard Life
Standard Life will be forced to launch a defence of its mutuality and the pay and pension packages of its top executives at its annual meeting today.
Standard Life is aware that a £1.5m bonus pool for six directors last year - when returns to policyholders dropped - could ignite a row at the annual meeting since policyholders have suffered cuts to pension and endowment policies of up to 15%.
Standard Life said it was aware of his intentions, but it added: "The differentiation between payouts of mutuals and public limited companies has become much clearer." It pointed out that the bonus on its 25-year endowment policy was 29% greater than Prudential's.

 NWC Review, Summer 2000: Isom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
According to the standard scenario—in which the rearming operation was "suspended" by Nagumo at 0745—roughly half the torpedo planes were in the hangar decks and still had torpedoes attached at 0830; most of the other half were on the flight decks, rearmed with eight-hundred-kilogram high-explosive bombs.
Given the standard scenario’s depiction of the armament status of the planes, its explanation for the postponement was troubling.
To find out what really happened on the Japanese side of the battle on that fateful morning of 4 June it is necessary to examine the primary sources, the principal ones being Nagumo’s official report and the action reports from the air groups of the four carriers in the Mobile Force.
