Il POMO della Vittoria, from Paolo Pezzutti
[The race between Atalanta (l) and Ippomene (r) by Guido Reni, 1618, Museo del Prado de Madrid. She loses the race and wins the boyfriend by picking up the gold "pomo" tossed to her by the Fed.]
After a sagacious relative's Email about POMO, I have been reading as much as I can about it. I found a recent article (August 10, 2009) by CXO Advisory Group particularly interesting.
