We talked about Lack of Empathy. Al said he did empathize ‘with people who want to make something of themselves’, but unfortunately that didn’t include his son Troy, or his sister, Denise. For Denise, the relationship ended for good in January, 1994, when she called her brother to let him know that her daughter, Carolyn, a college junior, was diagnosed with leukaemia. “Can I just know that you’ll be there if I need you?” she asked him. “No,” Dunlap tersely replied, she recalls. – John A. Byrne, Business Week, December 2nd 1996
