	Carl Icahn’s Lesson for Credit Unions
		Carl Icahn is one of America’s most effective activist investors, to the chagrin of the executives of companies he invests in.
		Icahn’s most recent target is Time Warner, which he criticized for not implementing “measures that would increase value for shareholders.” His attack pressured the company to use its excess cash to increase a planned stock buyback from $5 to more than $20 billion.
		If Carl Icahn could swoop into the credit union space, he would likely offer the critique that much of the capital stash is a suboptimal use of member resources.

	Why Carl Icahn Wants to Spoil American's Deal
		At the core of Icahn's looming battle with American is the package of low-priced tickets he got in TWA's 1995 bankruptcy.
		This time, Icahn might be able to keep his cheap tickets if he can convince the court that they were a result of TWA's 1995 bankruptcy, says University of California at Los Angeles law professor Kenneth N. Klee, a bankruptcy expert.
		In that case, Icahn would have to be bought out for the deal to go through--and that could cost American several hundred million dollars at least.

	Media Curmudgeon: Carl Icahn's Comedy Act
		Several months ago there was a story in the New York Times about corporate raider Carl Icahn doing a stand-up comedy set at Caroline's, a comedy club in New York, for a charity event.
		I guess Icahn must have liked doing comedy because he tried it again last week when he held a press conference to announce the result of the Lazard Report, a 371-page document produced by his partner in comedy and Time-Warner bashing, Bruce Wasserstein.
		Fabrikant made the same point that Jack Myers did, but in a subtler and more detailed way--that Icahn's appointment of Frank Biondi to head a slate of directors that Icahn wants Time Warner shareholders to vote for is a huge joke that no one except Icahn, Wasserstein, and Biondi take seriously.
