Did you see the Times column in the Business section this weekend about closeted CEOs? It appeared the day after that awkward CNBC segment and didn't mention Cook at all. Maybe it was filed before the segment blew up but it was a weird and telling juxtaposition.

Yeah. Poor James Stewart.

Also, see this correction added to the paper’s previous column about closeted CEOs:

UPDATE: This article has been revised to address the uncertain nature of “openly.” Some readers consider openly to include people who are out in their personal lives but not in the workplace; other readers, and the Human Rights Campaign, count only those who publicly identify themselves as gay.
