	When No. 2 becomes No. 1. - By Daniel Gross - Slate Magazine
		Yesterday, Robert Iger, the longtime president at Disney, was named to succeed Michael Eisner as CEO, raising many a waxed eyebrow in Los Angeles and New York and a giant collective shrug elsewhere.
		Stewart paints a portrait of Iger as a man who survives and rises largely by keeping his head down—his wife, Willow Bay, had a far higher public profile—and, more importantly, by not posing any kind of threat to Eisner.
		Ironically, the qualities that allowed Iger to survive at Disney—extreme loyalty to an abusive boss and a disinclination to threaten the status quo—may have made him unattractive for outside companies.

		I admit that I was originally discounting Iger because he worked under Eisner but after doing some research, I really think that this guy stands a chance to do something when allowed to run the company without Uncle Mikey looking over his shoulders.
		Hopefully Iger will strengthen the company as a whole and prevent another takeover bid that would have surely split the company apart.
		Iger is also credited with being the driving force that built ESPN into what it is today.
