• Private Property His ouster from AIG was so abrupt that former CEO Maurice “Hank” Greenberg left without his personal effects. After weeks of negotiations, the company finally let him retrieve, among other things, the health records of his pet Maltese, Snowball, his monogrammed towels—and some unspecified “underwear.” • A Picture Is Worth … Surveillance cameras at Hollinger Inc.’s Toronto headquarters caught former CEO Conrad Black red-handed in May making off with cartons of files through a back door, flouting a court order while under criminal and securities investigations. The cameras had been installed earlier that day. • Gender Bender Speaking to reporters about driver Danica Patrick’s strong Indy 500 finish in June, Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone said she was “super” before suggesting that “women should all be dressed in white like all other domestic appliances.” He repeated the remark to a puzzled Patrick in a phone call later that week. http://www.fortune.com/fortune/print/0,15935,1135697,00.html
