Ridge Resigns to Become CEO at Crayola Maker

[TO Kid]

(2004-11-30) -- Citing creative differences with the Bush administration, Director of Homeland Security Tom Ridge today resigned his cabinet post to become the new CEO of Binney & Smith, makers of Crayola crayons.

"It's a growth opportunity for me," said an emotional Mr. Ridge at a hastily-called news conference. "I'm 59 now, and it's time to move beyond the five colors in the Homeland Security Advisory System. At Binney & Smith, I'll oversee an operation that often packs 128 different shades into a single box."
