Yet amid the doubts and daily press reports of Kozlowski's trial, Breen says he's staying focused on the "blocking and tackling" of just running a company. And with the numbers starting to turn in his favor, he is even hoping to take his first vacation since joining Tyco. It won't be to a Mediterranean island for an over-the-top toga party a la Kozlowski (the bad). Instead, Breen (the good) is thinking of taking a few days at home in New Hope, Pa., when his children come home for spring break. Tyco shareholders might be thankful for such a plain CEO.
