    John-

    I of course read “D” and thought the article was referring to the Arizona Republic. I was thinking it was a shame they had dropped their bid- I could envision a certain synergy.

    RE: C –

    Is Neel over his head or what. I’d like to see “an overflow crowd of international bankers”.

    “Bailout chief speaks, promises quick action”, by David R. Sands, Washington Times, October 13, 2008.

    In his maiden speech as the Bush administration’s bailout czar, Treasury Department official Neel Kashkari on Monday told an overflow crowd of international bankers that the government has already taken a number of steps to implement the emergency rescue package and begin rebuilding the U.S. financial system.

    (that wasn’t nice putting me in Spam Jail, Igor!)
