...After a decade of disappointment, there's a very low level of interest," says Richard Eats of Threadneedle Investments.

Carlyle's Euro Shopping Spree A secretive, well-connected U.S. financial firm may be close to achieving what European governments and companies have long failed to do: consolidate Europe's defense industry.

Howard takes his new horse and his new jockey out to the country to open them up and find out what they can do, and we see for the first time what a miracle they have on their hands.
