It all started with a pain in my chest. I immediately went to get it checked out by the breast specialists at SUNY Downstate Hospital in Brooklyn, where I had been treated six years prior for an issue with my right nipple.

Inspired by Holmes’s memory, I made it a point of tracking down that book–“An Education in Georgia,” by Calvin Trillin, written in 1964. I had not remembered the title nor the author, but I remembered the book’s effect on me at the time I had first read it, back in the late ’60s when I was an impressionable teenager, living in a Los Angeles suburb.

That makes Weill the rare executive whose life is worthy of a hardcover....
