"The California State Teachers’ Retirement System has withheld votes for eight Morgan Stanley directors, including the Chairman, John J. Mack, because the company has underperformed both the market and peers," The New York Times reported on Monday. "The California fund, known as Calstrs, withheld votes from Mr. Mack, Roy J. Bostock, Erskine B. Bowles, Howard J. Davies, C. Robert Kidder, Donald T. Nicolaisen, Charles H. Noski and Charles E. Phillips Jr., according to an e-mailed statement," The Times article added. An IntellectSpace Knowledge Map depicts the numerous affiliations of Mr Mack, including his tenure as the CEO of Credit Suisse First Boston, his membership on the Board of Trustees of New York Presbyterian Hospital, and the fact that he is a graduate of Duke University. We can also see that Morgan Stanley Director Roy Bostock is the current Chairman of Yahoo! Inc as well as a Director for Northwest Airlines Corp. In addition, the Map shows the past and current affiliations of two other Morgan Stanley board members whom most people know as being former heavy weights in the Clinton Administration: We see that Director Laura D Tyson, the former Chair of the White House Counsel of Economic Advisers to President Clinton, is affiliated with AT&T Inc, the Eastman Kodak Co, and the University of California at Berkeley; and similarly, we also see that Director Erskine B Bowles, the former Clinton-era White House Chief of Staff, has links with the General Motors Corp, Cousins Properties Inc, and The University of North Carolina.
