Leslie Mooves, I do not begrudge you a good salary. You have a lot of responsibility, and you should be well paid. BUT....when I read about your annual income yesterday, and I view the declining value of my small amount of CBS stock - a retiree with a handicapped husband and increasing costs on every front, I cannot comprehend the gap between us. I need investments that can help me. CBS obviously is not one of those.
