How 2 Media Moguls’ Once-Warm Friendship Turned Frigid

The legal wrangling between CBS, Viacom and the Redstone family provides a behind-the-scenes view into how quickly a powerful business alliance can fray.

"In short, if Ms. Redstone and Mr. Moonves really care about shareholders as much as they claim, they should bury the hatchet and drop the lawsuits.
That is probably too much to hope for. Feelings are so intense that Ms. Redstone and Mr. Moonves can hardly be in the same room together. This month, they both attended the media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, and pointedly avoided each other."

This is a board room fight.

It probably includes content.
It is not primarily about content.
It is about where content is presented.

If We’re 40 and Single, Let’s Get Married. Deal?

Marriage pacts are a fantasy for some friends, and a fallback plan for others.

A marriage pact has not been a model I have pursued.

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

Fructose and ethanol.

How Many Square Feet Does $200,000 Buy You?

In the most expensive markets in the United States, just a small room. But in others, you’ll have room to spare.

I have noticed.

The Most Important Number in Finance Is Going Away. Wall St. Isn’t Prepared.

Libor, a benchmark for everything from adjustable mortgages to private student loans, is set to disappear by 2021. Regulators are worried that banks aren’t taking the change seriously enough.

"An industry group sponsored by the Federal Reserve has developed a new benchmark rate to replace Libor: the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR. It began to be published in April."

It looks like a nonevent.
