Takeouts: listeners on bonuses, history, Pete Carroll

The World

Listeners’ Takeout: Yesterday’s story about giant bonuses in big banks touched a nerve with our listeners, who wrote and called in in droves.

Business Takeout: New York Times finance reporter Louise Story brings us a short history of bonuses and a new suggestion that if more of them were paid in stock rather than cash, employees might be better motivated … and allow dividends for investors, to boot.

Sports Takeout: Pete Carroll is the new head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Sports contributor Ibrahim Abdul-Matin talks about why Pete Carroll decided to leave USC, and he previews the start of college basketball’s conference play.
