	Alwaleed, Prince (Profile)
		Alwaleed's small team of about 40 advisers and managers lived by the peculiar rhythm of his schedule: work from noon to about 5 p.m., then home for a meal and a rest, and back to the office at 8 p.m.
		Alwaleed generally travels with an entourage that includes a coterie of business associates, a secretary, a man in charge of communications, a photographer to record his every move, bodyguards, and a couple of guys whose only responsibility is to tell jokes and keep the atmosphere light.
		Alwaleed's father, Prince Talal, is the maverick reformer of the royal family.

		He is no ordinary prince, judging from his full name: Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abulaziz al Saud, the Saudi King's nephew, grandson of the founder of Saudi Arabia, grandson of the founder of the state of Lebanon.

	Yale Daily News - _
		Prince Alwaleed had intimated that America's support of Israel led to the terrorist attacks.
		Kramer argues that the prince's donations threaten to reduce the field of Middle Eastern studies to a "cargo cult," with professors singing the prince's tune either as a tacit display of appreciation for Alwaleed's magnanimity or in the hopes of attracting his donations in the future.

		Although Prince Alwaleed was previously best known for having a $10 million donation that he made in the wake of 9/11 refused by Mayor Giuliani after Alwaleed issued a statement linking 9/11 to U.S. support for Israel, Prince Alwaleed has more carefully tended to his public image since then.

	04/21/97 APPLE'S ARABIAN KNIGHT?
		Alwaleed could also bring about a turning point for Apple: The prince has made it known that if CEO Gilbert F. Amelio can't turn around the embattled computer maker, in which Alwaleed has bought $115 million worth of shares, then Lawrence J. Ellison's Oracle Corp.--or another group--will have to do the job.
		Alwaleed certainly has the clout to shake up markets: a war chest of $2 billion in cold cash, held in short-term U.S. dollar deposits at banks around the world.

		Alwaleed received a media drubbing, but that hasn't deterred him from his self-appointed mission to rescue the image of Islam and Saudi Arabia.
