(FORTUNE Magazine) – ''Being in the microcomputer business is like going 55 miles an hour three feet from a cliff. If you make the wrong turn, you're bankrupt so fast you don't know what hit you.'' -GEORGE MORROW, 52, head of Morrow Inc., a recently bankrupt microcomputer maker. ''He's smart. He's honest. Even people who fought with him thought he was a good guy.'' -ROBERT S. McINTYRE, 37, of Citizens for Tax Justice, a lobbying group, on Barber B. Conable Jr., 63, nominee to head the World Bank. ''The reinsurance business . . . has the defect of being too attractive- looking to new entrants for its own good and therefore will always tend to be more or less the opposite of, say, the old business of gathering and rendering dead horses, which tended to contain few and prosperous participants.'' -CHARLES T. MUNGER, 62, chairman of Wesco Financial Corp., in the company's annual report.
