One of the lawyer-business expert talking heads on TV last night said he hoped Martha's daughter wasn't dragged in to prop up the company as its spokesperson, because it wouldn't work. What's needed is a new title, with no reference to Martha's name or persona. They could get one or several chef types in to cook and bake and host the show, if any. They were trying desperately to figure out a way to save all those jobs. Martha assembled a terrific workforce, great designers, creative people. She's up for I think eight Emmys next week, all well deserved.

I disagree. I think it would work because it is only temporary. That is, of course, if the daughter has any interest and talent in these matters. But I think going with a stranger is a bad move, if Martha gets less than 2 years in jail. If Martha gets a lot longer time in jail, that's another story. But if it's only a short time - I think the company should change as little as possible and just keep going.
