Net Losses (washingtonpost.com): 'Stealing Time: Steve Case, Jerry Levin, and the Collapse of AOL Time Warner' by Alec Klein

Net Losses (washingtonpost.com): 'Stealing Time: Steve Case, Jerry Levin, and the Collapse of AOL Time Warner' by Alec Klein : "It was a little more than three years ago, at the absolute zenith of the bull market on Wall Street, when America Online and Time Warner -- two of the largest 18-wheelers on the Information Superhighway -- collided head-on in a corporate pileup so bloody and pointless that EMS workers are still pulling bodies from the wreckage. Stealing Time, by The Washington Post's Alec Klein, is the first full-length account of who was speeding, who was dozing at the wheel and who fled the scene amid the sounds of approaching sirens in Wall Street's greatest takeover fiasco since the RJR Nabisco deal nearly 15 years ago.
