If Americans have heard one yarn about the salaries, incentive packages and lifestyles of top business executives, they've likely heard 1,000. There's always room, of course, for another. Except this one comes from an unlikely source: the Chronicle of Higher Education. The Chronicle recently released a survey of the compensation packages available at 185 public universities.
