Carly Fiorina didn't just break the glass ceiling, she obliterated it, as the first woman to lead a FORTUNE 20 company. But her fall from stardom was just as dramatic, and she remains a controversial figure, with opinion split on whether she deserves credit for HP's success since her firing in 2005. Fortune's Matthew Boyle talked to Fiorina - who now serves on several advisory boards, including the CIA's - about CEO pay, Dell's woes, and what she's learned from her tumultuous time at the top and, more recently, on the sidelines.

When Tony Snow came to the White House for lunch at the end of March, just after his friend Josh Bolten became chief of staff, the Fox News anchor marched up the front driveway.

Fox radio show and a weekend Fox News Channel program, he knows how much easier it is to "sit on the outside and throw rocks."

Most of the time, media professionals wait for news to happen before reporting it. On election night, however, veteran journalists dispense with tradition and race to declare a winner before all the votes are counted, relying mainly on surveys of voters exiting the polls and partial tallies of ballots cast. The system worked pretty well until it blew up in 2000, when the networks called Florida for Al Gore, reversed themselves, and, well, you know the rest. So things will be different this time. Sure, the TV networks will be competing to declare America's next President. But restraint will prevail, the intense pressure to keep you from switching to a more exciting channel be damned.
