The Chicago Tribune piece pointed out that furniture delivery issues were not the only technical problems Field's faced since it was purchased by May. "It took Field's eight months under May to give online shoppers the ability to buy products other than gift cards, meaning Field's largely sat on the sidelines during the holidays while most retailers reported double-digit online sales gains." - George Anderson - Moderator

The Chicago Tribune is not exactly a bastion of the liberal media. It has been 136 years since it endorsed a Democrat for president (unless you count Matt Santos). During the middle part of the 20th century, it gained a well-deserved reputation for being strongly isolationist and harshly critical of the New Deal.

Recognized as the founder of financial futures markets, Mr. Melamed was named by the former editor of the Chicago Tribune as one of the ten most important Chicagoans in business of the 20th Century. In 1972, as Chairman of CME, Mr. Melamed created the International Monetary Market (IMM), the first futures market for financial instruments. He led CME in the introduction of futures on foreign currencies, paving the way for a diverse number of financial instruments, including futures on U.S. Treasury bills, Eurodollars, and in 1982, stock index futures. In 1987, Mr. Melamed and his colleagues pioneered the concept of electronic trading of derivatives contracts and in 1992 launched the CME Globex® electronic trading platform. Today, CME is the world's largest and most diverse derivatives exchange. Its shares are publicly traded on the NYSE and the Nasdaq stock exchanges.
