...then, that the hope of beating the Kiwis, who have held the Cup since 1995, enticed the fabulously rich to open their wallets. The competition includes teams funded by Oracle's Larry Ellison, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and telco investor Craig McCaw; biotech mogul Ernesto Bertarelli; shipping magnate Vincenzo Onorato; British tech millionaire Peter Harrison; and, of course, all the old and new money associated with the New York Yacht Club.

Mediobanca managing director Vincenzo Maranghi, whatever his virtues, hasn't acquired his late boss's godlike mystique. Enter the French. In May, the state electric utility Electricité de France (EDF) picked up 20% of the shares in Montedison. That position seemed to constitute a serious challenge to Montedison's Mediobanca-approved management...
...amended yet again. Their vote is unlikely to keep the compromise from passing, but the split will look bad for a center-left alliance that is trying to present a unified front in anticipation of the spring elections.
