...have been the culprit? It is certainly possible ? this is, after all, a man who dabbles daily in currency markets to the tune of $1 trillion. But according to TIME Business writer Sribala Subramanian, his Quantum fund merely functions like a de facto Central Bank. Like any good government banker, Soros just goes where the money is ? following the market, rather than any political motive. Perhaps the Malaysian PM should consider a refresher course in Econ...
What is left for our poor Mr. Peepers as a symbol of manly pride? The scenes would seem surreal if they weren't already so familiar. An investment banker braves the brutal terrain of Park Avenue in a vehicle built for climbing sand dunes under enemy fire. A claims adjuster clambers aboard a car designed to haul caribou carcasses, so he can pick up his wife's fuchsias at the suburban garden center. Did the old man flip his jeep on Omaha Beach?

Bryan, a former Golden Gloves boxer as well as a banker, entrepreneur and corporate-turnaround artist, took charge of ICG, then known as IntelCom Group, in 1995. A good time to jump in, given the impending passage of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, which ordered the Baby Bell phone companies to end their monopolies of local service. Now Bryan is trying to outsprint other...
