Amitai Etzioni is not surprised by the latest headings about scheming corporate crooks (骗子).

YAHOO was the first wonder of the web, and in many respects, it still is. It started in January 1994 when two California graduate students, Jerry Yang and David Filo, started compiling a database of links, mainly for their personal use. But well before the end of the year, it had become recognizable as the Yahoo we know today. In the past seven years, Yahoo has expanded its range enormously, partly through a long string of acquisitions.
