    Undisclosed Premier development project

    Tylee Wilson's decision to withhold the Premier project from RJR Nabisco's board for several years became a governance controversy. Directors objected to the lack of disclosure and to approximately $68 million in spending authorized without the expected audit-committee approval. The episode contributed to Wilson's replacement as chief executive.
