		While Messier won't set a timetable for divestments, he is promising to reduce the company's debt level by $2 billion to $3 billion in 1997.
		Messier added to the good news in his October announcement, saying he expects net profits to reach $353 million this year, and that 1997's net would top $675 million.
		Messier has decreed that corrupt practices must come to a halt, and that anyone who is found bribing in order to win contracts will be fired.

	Mark Messier - Wikipedia
		Messier was already known as a hockey superstar, but the birth of the Messier legend came in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals.
		In 1995-96, Messier came as close as he had since 1991-92 to breaking the 100-point plateau when, at the age of 35, he recorded a 99-point season.
		Messier's 67-point season as a 40-year old in 2000-01 was a mark better than any he established in his Vancouver years, and showed that he was still a solid player despite lacking a supporting cast.

		Shafer rejected Vivendi's argument that Messier's severance package was illegal because it violated French law requiring that a company's full board of directors vote to approve an executive severance package.

		Messier and Vivendi are the subjects of numerous lawsuits in France and the United States by small shareholders who, like many employees of the company, saw their pensions and savings wiped out.

		Not helping Messier's image with investors was his relocation to New York and his embrace of American-style executive perks and lifestyle, all of which was duly noted by the French media.

	The Messier Catalogue
		One of the earliest catalogues of nebulous-appearing objects was prepared in 1781 by the French astronomer Charles Messier (1730-1817).
		Messier was a comet hunter, and as an aid to himself and others in his field he placed on record 103 objects that might be mistaken for comets.
		Because Messier's list contains some of the most conspicuous star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in the sky, these objects are often referred to by their numbers in his catalog - for example M31, the great galaxy in Andromeda.
