Some praise, a fun fish story and a little R&R
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
It’s time for me to clear out of here for a summer vacation. I plan to spend most of it away from the computer, so you may not see any posts in this space for a couple of weeks. Before I go, though, a couple of notes:
- If you haven’t read the Wall Street Journal’s Anheuser-Busch fish story yet, do so immediately. It says a lot about the attitude of August Busch III and why the company was unable to do more international deals.
- I’ve read a lot of good storiesĀ on the A-B deal, so it’s nice to see some praise tossed in our direction. Kenneth Klee of TheDeal.com calls the Post-Dispatch’s coverage “smart, thorough, fair-minded and exhaustive.” Thanks for noticing, Kenneth!
