    I'll practice my mugging so after a day of trouble I'll be able to afford a bagel

    Could I maybe have an exclusive special offer or two, just for readers of BeachComber, which allows me great discounts or other perks at Hamptons spots? Or maybe just an informative sponsored message telling me about some of the great opportunities which I can avail myself of should I be headed to the South Fork this weekend?

    Very good. Now do all the sums all over again while being more realistic: Say that the value to News Corp of an editorially-independent WSJ is X, while the value to News Corp of being able to interfere with the editorial side of the WSJ is Y. And assume that Y is a known quantity, while X is an unknown quantity...

    "Wall Street, where the competition is fierce to hire top CEOs"... er, yeah. Right. 'Cos all those CEOs currently in the corner office are just desperate to replace themselves. And all those boards of directors are equally desperate to find a replacement for the CEO they've got already. Not. All of Crystal's examples were promoted from within -- that's how you become a Wall Street CEO. The Dimons and Macks of this world are very rare birds.

    This is crap. All you're doing is saying that Livingstone has 3000 people per gas station, and if that's true of the country as a whole then since the population is 300 million there must be 100,000 gas stations overall. All of this bullshit about number of cars per person is utterly irrelevant. If I was an investment banker grading you, I'd give you an F.

    'The highest paid editor at The New York Times makes less than what the lowest paid analyst at Goldman Sachs makes.' Bill Keller makes $650k -- plus, I'm sure, options and bonuses. Is that really less than the lowest-paid analyst at Goldies?

    Just a minor question, Dealbreaker, because, honest to God, I'm really not sure myself -- where does McGrath ever say that IvyGate was first to this story?

    Huh? I know you're a Republican and everything, but this makes no sense even by those standards. If you want your heirs to benefit from your capital appreciation, then if that capital appreciation is large, there will be an estate tax. On the other hand, if you don't want your heirs to benefit from your capital appreciation, and instead you want to give your money to charity, then you can do that and not have to worry about the estate tax, mainly because once you've given your money away, there's no estate to tax. What part of this do you not understand?
