The real estate mogul turned newspaper baron borrowed $8.4 billion last December to finance his leverage buyout of the Tribune Co., owner of the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. Now he's discovered the newspaper business is harsher than he expected. Zell is trying to sell some of his new company's assets to keep his creditors happy.

The company, whose name is pronounced with a hard 'g' (BUNG-ee), is relatively unknown but has long been among the world's largest soybean crushers and a giant producer of fertilizer. Think of it as a sort of Archer Daniels Midland without the ubiquitous public TV advertisements.

Citi is expecting to cut close to $500 billion from its $2.2 trillion balance sheet; to exit unprofitable client relationships; and to overturn its "silos" and really complete the 1998 merger of Citicorp and Travelers. Said CEO Vikram Pandit: "We're finally going to merge it all."

It turns out that she was - sort of: Eve marks the first design collaboration within Steve Jobs' culture-shaping Apple-Pixar-Disney axis. (Jobs sold Pixar to Disney and is Disney's largest shareholder as well as the CEO of Apple.)

The reason? He's Lehman's chief meteorologist.

Now, with energy demand rising twice as fast as supply, it's finally happening, thanks to a rare alignment of interests - government, business, consumer, and environmental.

News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch led the charge with a $580 million offer. New York Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman quickly matched it. Now Cablevision's Dolan family has lobbed in a high bid of $650 million. Cablevision's involvement is the most puzzling of the three. After all, the Dolans are cable guys, not newspaper publishers. Nevertheless, there's a strange logic to it.
