I saw this article on Drudge Report just now:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/14/business/14bank.html?ei=5065&en=6489772aacb69342&ex=1192939200&partner=MYWAY&pagewanted=print And I realized that I overheard a guy on the street on 5th Ave talking about this about 7 hours ago. This is from tomorrow's edition of the NY Times, and as usual Drudge has it up first.
Maybe I was hearing the author of the article discussing it with someone, or maybe this is well known information. I dunno, but I thought it was strange.
