U S West Inc.'s Trujillo is thinking big again

Article Abstract:

It seems that Solomon D. Trujillo, chairman of US West Inc. has made a good move in the decision to merge with Global Crossing Ltd. He states that they needed a larger company so that US West could fulfill it own global aspirations and goals for the company. This bold move is seen as strange from such a soft-spoken, low-profile chairman.
