July 2008
Another major brand associated with American industry is beating back foreign interlopers. As CSX battles TCI with the courts and thorough counting of votes, Anheuser-Busch is similarly not going down without a brawl with InBev. They’re even dragging the Cuba embargo into it.

Article :
May 2008

His solution? A new board loaded with hand-picked directors, including former CEO of Viacom, a Harvard professor and even Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Oh yeah, and him, too. But, assuming he stands a chance at overthrowing Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang’s board, will Microsoft ever agree to return to the dealmaking table?
