Top 10 Winners of Fortune 500

The new Fortune 500 list confirms it: 2008 was a terrible year, even for the winners. The collective profits of the 500 biggest U.S. companies fell nearly 85% in 2008, with four of the top 10 companies showing losses for last year. Thirty-eight firms dropped off the list completely. It's not all gloom and doom, however, as the list has a new No. 1 company (ExxonMobil) and a number of fresh faces have risen to replace fallen members of the old guard. CBS News (04/19)
