...there is empirical data to refute the Williams-as-idiot thesis. The Neptunes (Williams and partner Chad Hugo) are responsible for nine Top 10 hits over the past two years and countless Top 10 rap tracks. No one in hip-hop has as diverse or as deep a songwriting portfolio, and artists from Nelly (Hot in Herre) to Britney Spears (I'm a Slave 4 U) regularly fork over six figures for a Neptunes melody. Williams and Hugo are also members of N.E.R.D., a rock/hip-hop band whose debut album, In Search of ... , was one of the best-reviewed records...

It was the latest sign of a policy shift by Deutsche CEO Josef Ackermann. For decades, Deutsche amassed a huge portfolio. But now Ackermann, who has been indicted for alleged breach of trust during Vodafone's 2000 takeover of Mannesmann, is selling; he wants to focus on traditional banking.
