...While foreign banks gear up and local private banks seek partners, Vietnam's state-run banks are also adapting. Four are set to be partially privatized this year and will list on the stock exchange, beginning with Vietcombank in a few months, according to Le Duc Thuy, governor of the State Bank of Vietnam, the country's central bank. State-owned players are getting additional help from the government: in April, Hanoi plans to raise charter-capital requirements for banks from $5 million to $70 million. The move is being made to ensure banks are financially sound, but in effect...
While private equity plodded along, Silverman built HFS into one of the stars of the 1990s stock-market boom. The company expanded into real estate, then rental cars (Avis). Its share price rose almost 2,000% in four years, and Silverman's net worth rocketed toward $1 billion. He was hailed as a genius. Then, in 1997, he merged HFS with direct-marketer CUC to form Cendant. CUC was an e-commerce pioneer, giving Silverman a tangential link to the Internet bubble. Under CEO Walter Forbes, now awaiting jail, CUC was also a pioneer at fabricating earnings, Silverman later discovered...

Watch out, kids—especially if you’re female! Drunken sex with strangers is bad and will give you nasty diseases...

Fick, an MBA candidate at the Business School. Fick left the Marines as a Captain and earned a Master’s degree in International Security Policy from KSG. He has become something of a veteran celebrity on campus after his book...
...while U.S. authorities have thwarted Gates' subjugation of the PC software business in recent years, Mexico has done precious little to rein in ubiquitous business empires like Slim's - which today accounts for almost half the Mexican stock exchange's $370 billion value and controls a horde of industries ranging from telecom to tobacco. Forbes magazine, in fact, noted that Slim's holdings alone represent about 7% of Mexico's GDP - and that if Gates held a similar share of the U.S. economy, he would be worth $874 billion...
