...sight: Go over the transcript, and you find that the Optimism of Alan Greenspan got considerably less reaction - both pundit- and market- - than perhaps its weight in the text deserved...
...Italenergia could be first in line to buy it. "With the technical expertise of EDF and the industrial weight of Fiat behind it, Italenergia is well-placed to establish itself as Italy's second electricity company," says Andrea Gilardoni, professor of utilities management at Bocconi University in Milan. The sight of Mediobanca on the ropes has some investors wondering if the bank itself might soon become a takeover target, or be forced to merge with an ally.

The government enmeshed its bid with an empty political slogan: "A More Open China Awaits the 2000 Games." Nothing like that this time. Beijing emphasizes the country's rich history and the $12 billion the city will spend on environmental protection. Its current slogan, "New Beijing, Great Olympics," deliberately focuses on the city, not the country's policies...
