		However, not all mistakes made by key corporate players in “Barbarians” in the late 1980s have been replicated by other executives during the early part of this century.
		While Ted Forstmann was concerned that “the entire LBO industry had become the province of quick-buck artists,” the LBO wave today is now gentler and kinder, as shareholders are unlikely to put up with this kind of slash-and-sell behavior that defined the LBO scene of the 1980s (p.233).

	Review: Barbarians at the Gate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Barbarians at the Gate, a made-for-HBO movie, recounts the events surrounding the biggest leveraged buyout in history, that of RJR Nabisco in 1988.
		Most of us are used to looking in from the outside on these high-profile financial struggles; Barbarians at the Gate presents an insider's perspective -- and not just any insider, but that of the man at the top.
		So, as much as the average person despises financial fakery that results in thousands of lost jobs, Barbarians at the Gate, by looking at the situation from a different perspective, turns this matter into thought-provoking entertainment.

		The 1993 film details F. Ross Johnson's attempt to acquire the company for which he was CEO: RJR Nabisco.

	Green Book Review: Barbarians at the Gate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		At the core of Barbarians at the Gate, a brilliant detailing of the late '80s leveraged buy-out of tobacco and food behemoth RJR-Nabisco, lies naked greed and powerlust.
		Financier Henry Kravis and profligate manager Ross Johnson would both have benefited to the tune of billions of dollars had they come together and averted a bloody bidding war.
		That each was willing to jeopardize billions -- and ultimately, lots of jobs and the viability of a great American company -- because of fragile ego really cuts to the quick of what the 1980s symbolized.

		The quote interests me because it's completely at odds with what I would assume would be the ordinary Muslim view of the Islamic conquest of Constantinople: namely, that the folks at the gates were not "barbarians," but legitimate inheritors of the universal monarchy of Rome.

		I don't know what the problem is over at HBO, but they consistently release their films to DVD with few to no extras.

		So, the argument is that prizes for literature SHOULD be given on the basis of the merit of the works, but that, in Pinter's case, the Nobel wasn't.
		Rather, the complaint is that the author believes that Pinter won the prize SOLELY BECAUSE of his politics and not because of his works (the author says that "Pinter has produced no significant work for the stage in 40 years").
		These people have nothing whatsoever to say about Pinter's plays (which are--correct me if I'm wrong--the basis for awarding him the prize), and everything to say about his political stands outside the plays (which, to be sure, are often loopy...but have nothing to do with his fitness for the Nobel).
