...White House is looking for at least one new member of its economic team who can speak the language of the financial markets and calm them when necessary. "The model is Bob Rubin," said a White House insider of the Goldman, Sachs co-chairman, who headed the National Economic Council (NEC) and then the Treasury Department during the Clinton Administration. Bush advisers say Stephen Friedman, who co-chaired Goldman at Rubin's side, is being courted heavily for the NEC job. But candidates for other spots on the economic team have also been sought among nonfinancial companies. Though Bush recognizes...
...only new appointee who seems to hold any promise is Stephen Friedman, who is to become Bush’s top economic adviser. Although at first glance he may seem like another investment banker, having co-chaired Goldman Sachs in the early 1990s, Friedman does advocate hard-line fiscal discipline and thus will hopefully oppose some of the more aggressive tax cuts that Bush is proposing.

...Then there's Stephen Friedman, the former head of Goldman Sachs. Widely considered a shoo-in to replace Lindsay, his appointment hit a snag this week while the White House worked through a slew of undisclosed "personal and professional issues."

...Ironically, just when things are starting to pick up, there are few cheerleaders left to hail the good news. The army of brokerage analysts that once followed the chortals' every move has been routed. "I'm sorry," laments a p.r. person at Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, "but we don't have any more Internet-sector analysts." Chastened dotcom CEOs are stressing humility. Sina's CEO Daniel Mao says the rally is "the beginning of a healthy comeback?but we still have a long way to go." Indeed, despite their successes, these remain tiny companies, each with annual revenues well...
...sensitive kind of guy. Sure, he’s got that little pharmaceutical company startup under his belt, as the two cell phones and two laptops in his Leverett single attest. The scores of cardboard boxes that crowd his common room, marked with magical names like “Goldman Sachs” and “Morgan Stanley,” might also fool you into thinking that Darst is just another ruthless capitalist. But he’s on his way to curing tuberculosis in the Third World. And he likes ballet...
