3. You are the publisher of a daily metropolitan newspaper. In addition to newsstand sales, you distribute your newspaper to home subscribers via a system of carriers who hand-deliver your papers all over the city.

Recently, your circulation manager has noticed an increase in the number and seriousness of complaints from subscribers about the carriers. Last Week, she hired a carrier who had constructed a bonefire inside a house under construction with extra copies of your newspaper. No damage was done before the fire was discovered and extinguished, but now your circulation manager is Wondering what exposure the company has in the event a carrier does some major harm.

Your answer should reflect the breadth of your imagination regarding your risks and what steps, if any, by which you would attempt to eliminate those risks.
