        OK

        Abused ?   Heck, American managers ( business, government and
nonprofits)  have carried organization titles to great heights.  It
often seems title escalation is a way of avoiding pay raises.  Let me
build the case:

                        CEO
                           C O O
                        President
                Snr. Exec. Vice Pres.
                Executive Vice Pressident	
           Just    plain    Vice     President
        Assistant   Vice President of ---------
          Junior Assistant Vice President of ------
                the few who are left
                     who do the 
                         work
                           :-)
