I recommend this article because it used the word "rapacity."

[The Backlash Cometh]

In all my life I can't recall ever coming across the word "rapacity" and I don't even want to look in the dictionary to confirm it's a real word. It's captivated my imagination and I'm entertained just thinking about its meaning. Rapacity: The ability to take by force with sharp intensity.

Anyways, it is also a very relevant article for DU:

Announcing an Award for Greed

By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
PORTLAND, Ore.

I'm pleased to announce the first annual Michael Eisner Award for Corporate Misgovernance.

Last week, a Delaware judge sent a warning shot over corporate boards everywhere, chastising Mr. Eisner, the C.E.O. of the Walt Disney Company, for having "enthroned himself as the omnipotent and infallible monarch of his personal Magic Kingdom." Ultimately, however, the judge turned down a shareholder suit against the Disney board for giving Michael Ovitz a $140 million severance package as a reward for having failed catastrophically in just 14 months as the company's president.

So I've decided to offer my own prize for executive greed. My aim is to honor those who, in the spirit of Mr. Eisner's pioneering achievements in rapacity, have been so visionary in ripping off shareholders and aggrandizing themselves that they deserve special recognition.

The winner of the Eisner award will receive a shower curtain, in honor of the $6,000 floral-patterned shower curtain that Tyco's shareholders unwittingly bought for their former C.E.O., Dennis Kozlowski. This year's grand-prize shower curtain is a lovely translucent model that comes with metal grommets to prevent tearing, suction cups to stick to the wall, and even an antimildew treatment! And it cost just $5.96.

There were many strong candidates to receive this shower curtain.
