...have never seen before in Italy," says Marco Bolgiani of Eptafund in Milan. But the onetime friends have had a few subterranean run-ins over the years. For example, the bank supported Olivetti's successful 1999 bid for Telecom Italia, which Fiat opposed. Still, the notion of a vendetta shouldn't be overplayed: shares in a company called HdP, whose investments include the newspaper Corriere della Serra and the designer Valentino, shot up briefly this month on hopes that Fiat might lead a raid there as well. Fiat had declined to renew a syndicate pact with other HdP shareholders, including...

Did anyone happen to notice that two of the first three suckers kicked off the island were older than Moses? Dammit, CBS, we're old and cranky enough. Don't you know any better than to tick us off? We've got more money floating around in Washington on any given day than you guys make in 20 sweep weeks. So straighten up and fly right or, dammit, we'll have our buddies over...
