...flippant familiarity you use in talking about Their Royal Highnesses is insulting. An added injury is the inclusion of every possible unproven, gossipmongering rumor. Anyone who has had experience in serving the public interest and knows the sacrifice it entails must share my admiration for the royal couple's grace and dedication. They should be allowed to carry out their duties in an atmosphere of serenity and respect. Jacqueline Conte Castellaro, Italy...

They include Goldman Sachs, which last month raised a further $8.5 billion, and the Blackstone Group, which the Financial Times reported last week was planning a new record-breaking $11 billion fund. Indeed, private equity has become such a force that the mere rumor of a forthcoming deal can have a huge impact on stock prices. Shares in Whitbread, the British brewing and restaurant firm, jumped by almost 9% last Thursday on speculation that several private equity firms are circling. The stock dropped back again a bit on Friday; the company didn't comment...
