TECH TRAINING: In 1975, I was a lowly law clerk struggling to finish a brief for a partner. To my distress, I discovered that my draft was on magnetic cards readable only with an IBM Mag Card word processor. I sat down with the instruction manual on Saturday and figured out how to use it by Sunday. I swore never again to be at the mercy of anyone else when it came to automation tools. So, when I arrived at Kraft Foods in 1976, and chatted with secretaries about their Mag Card machines, word got around, and I was the attorney responsible for the computers thereafter.
CURRENT JOB: After 32 years at Kraft Foods, I "retired" in December and formed Compliance & Competition Consultants. I’m also of counsel to Schoeman, Updike, Kaufman & Scharf.
