	November 21, 2007 - Moses Znaimer: Local Hero, Global Conquest by Roger Martin
		Moses Znaimer has lived and breathed television ever since he bought a television set with money from his Bar Mitzvah in the mid-1950s.
		Znaimer's easiest choice would have been to stay comfortably local, in the belief that going global was beyond his reach.
		Like other integrative thinkers, Znaimer describes himself, without any prodding, as "not an 'either/or' kind of guy but rather a 'both/and' guy." He was never likely to accept a view of the TV business as simply a matter of globalization versus localization, with unsatisfactory trade-offs in both directions.

	Moses Pushes MuchMarijuana
		Moses -- founder of MuchMusic, CityTV, and various other cultural fl holes -- has waded into the promised land of medicinal marijuana but potheads are proving more resistant than music fans to his establishment-masquerading-as-edgy touch.
