GUEST EDITORIAL MODERN SOCIETY Suffering from Leadership Gap? by Sal Giarratani The Costa Concordia disaster that happened Friday night, January 13 when this ocean liner crashed into a reef off the Italian coast started taking on water and listed to one side. About 11 people were killed and as of this writing (January 18) 22 people are still missing. The ship was carrying more than 4,200 passengers and crew. How did the ship drift so close to the rocks?

Few survived the sinking of the largest ship of its kind back then. The captain and crew stayed with the ship directing the evacuation of passengers. People helped each other. Some even sacrificed themselves handing over the lim- ited lifejackets to women and children. The ship’s cap- tain behaved like a captain and not a coward. As I listened to the audio communications on the Michael Graham radio show between the port captain and the ship’s captain, I wanted to laugh. It sounded like a “Saturday Night Live!” skit. No one should have to order the captain to return to his ship and no captain should ever defy such an order as reportedly happened off the Italian coastline. I guess the new motto for some ship captains must be “Captains, women and children Many retired employees came to wish Carl good luck and share fond memories.

The Roosevelt’s didn’t believe we were a victim nation, they believed we were a great nation and world leader. Nowadays we need to return to the heroics of those aboard the Titanic.
