Of particular interest would be his role, as president, CEO, and chairman of the Times' parent company, in the sale to the Tribune Company. Anything Mormon in way that business was done? After leaving the LA Times, Brother Willes presided the Honulu Hawaii Mission. One I would be interested in is Mark Willes, who was president of General Mills, and then was publisher of the LA TImes.

He's a fairly prominent Mormon, but I wonder if his personality might rub the average Mormon the wrong way. Certainly, he's not well liked in Utah right now (the RSL stadium issues). He's commented before on how his personality bothers people. I saw the Deseret News piece, and I expect a sort of Larry King-ish puff piece. Rollins and Neelman are certainly great selections. Kim Clark's inclusion is automatic in any LDS-business discussion. Early reviews have listed James Quigley, the CEO of Deloitte & Touche, in the book. But Checketts? Surely you could find a suitable replacement. However, I acknowledge that this book is probably focused at the Utah market, and you have Jazz fans there, and Checketts was once a Jazz exec. Off the top of my head, I'd be interested in Dr. Kenneth Cooper, Neelman, Rollins, Clark, Huntsman, Sr., Paul Allen (the lesser :) ), Quigley, Nolan Archibald, Jim Jannard. Not Marriott; that's been done ad nauseum. Checketts is an odd choice.
