That is especially true regarding the Middle Eastern sovereign funds. which have seen their holdings balloon due to surging oil prices in recent years. Helping them gain favor in U.S. markets has been some old-fashioned public relations at work. They seem to be buying investment stakes that purposefully fall below levels that could inspire regulatory scrutiny, and they have signaled that they don't want to take an active role in how those businesses are being run.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Dec. 6. the 340th day of 2007. There are 25 days left in the year. . Today's Highlight in History: Fifty years ago, on Dec. 6, 1957, America's first attempt at putting a satellite into orbit failed as Vanguard TV3 rose only about four feet off a Cape Canaveral launch pad before crashing back down and exploding. · On this date: In 1790, Congress moved to Philadelphia from New York. In 1889, Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederate States of America, died in New Orleans. In 1907, the worst mining disaster in U.S. history occurred as 362 men and boys died in a coal mine exp]o. sion in Monongah, W.Va. In 1947, Everglades National Park in Florida was dedicated by President Truman. In 1973, House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as vice president, succeeding Spiro T. Agnew.

"What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and What's Wrong With Washington." Infamous for stonewalling and evasiveness, McClellan came clean: "The most powerfulleader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," he wrote. "So I stood at the White House briefing room podium ... for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in th e White Hou se: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby. · "There was one problem. It was not true. "I had unknowingly passed .along false information.

There was · the 2005 uproar over the Chinese stateowned oil company's s bid for U.S.-based oil and gas producer Unocal Corp., as well as intense political opposition last vear to a Dubaibased fund's offer to buy into six U.S. shipping ports.

That is especially true regarding the Middle Eastern sovereign funds. which have seen their holdings balloon due to surging oil prices in recent years. Helping them gain favor in U.S. markets has been some old-fashioned public relations at work. They seem to be buying investment stakes that purposefully fall below levels that could inspire regulatory scrutiny, and they have signaled that they don't want to take an active role in how those businesses are being run.

Until then, ADIA will receive an I 1 percent annu· al yield on its investment - higher than Citigroup:s current 7.3 percent diVIdend yield.

It 's too early to know wh~ther they will stick . to thetr word. Should thmgs turn around for Citigruup in the years ahead, they 'll be rewarded for buying at the . right price. Citigroup's shares now trade around $33 each, down more than 35 percent for the year. . But what happens tf things don't go that way7 As ·a major shareholder, they have the same right as every investor to react if Citigroup fails to produce the kind of returns the ADIA had. hoped. They' have plenty of tool s available to convey their views: 'They could publicly denounce the CEO, press the company to shed some of its assets, or even sell their stake. This isn' t just an issue for Citigroup's ·investors. Sovereign funds have plunged $37 billion into financial companies and asset 'managers over the last six months, according to ' Morgan Stanley.

In early November, Bear · Stearns Cos. and China's oovernment-controlled Citic Securities Co. agreed td invest $1 billion in each other and combine some operations in Asia, giving the battered U.S. brokerage an entrance into the insular Chinese financial sector.

Seven months later, the bad news keeps . coming at the Europe's largest bank, which last week said it would bail otlt two troubled funds it manages by transferring about $45 billion of their assets onto its balance sheet.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Dec. 6. the 340th day of 2007. There are 25 days left in the year. . Today's Highlight in History: Fifty years ago, on Dec. 6, 1957, America's first attempt at putting a satellite into orbit failed as Vanguard TV3 rose only about four feet off a Cape Canaveral launch pad before crashing back down and exploding. · On this date: In 1790, Congress moved to Philadelphia from New York. In 1889, Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederate States of America, died in New Orleans. In 1907, the worst mining disaster in U.S. history occurred as 362 men and boys died in a coal mine exp]o. sion in Monongah, W.Va. In 1947, Everglades National Park in Florida was dedicated by President Truman. In 1973, House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as vice president, succeeding Spiro T. Agnew.

JO ms a hneup that already included Magglio Ordonez. Gary Sheffield, Ivan Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson, Plactdo Polanco and Edgar Renteria , acquired !rom Atlanta thts offseason. "I, like everyone else m Detrott, am astounded! " Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Pre ss. "I had no tdca it was even a possibtlny." On the Santana front, Minne sota general manager Bill Smtth maintamed the two -ttme AL Cy Young ' Award winner could remain with the Twins. Santana will get $13.25 million next year, then become eligilile for free agency. The Twins haven't been able to sign him to an extensiOn. "I've said all along it's our first cl\oice," Smith said. "We'd love to have him. We'd love to keep him." New York Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner said Tuesda'y his team had ended its pursuit of the left-hander, leaving Minnesota to decide whether to accept an offer from the Boston Red Sox that would include Jon Lester or Jacoby Ellsbury and a package of prospects. The Mets also have told the Twins they remain interested . "Everyone knows who is out there," New York manager Willie Randolph said. "The big fish are out there. Santana is still out there. l don't think that we're necessanly out of the picture even though I think Boston and the Yankees get most of the play on that. Depends on what Minnesota wants, if they have what we like, that's something that might happen."

It probably contai ns more instru ctive articles and quizzes than any other bridge magazine. Thi s deal was provided by Andrew Kambites in a ser ies about leading again st a suit contract. Look at the West hand. What would you choose against sill hearts? South opened with a weak · two-bid , 12- ~ showing-5-9 high-card points and a sixCard Sliit. North responded with the Grand-Slam Force, asking his pa rtner to bid seven hearts with two of the top three trump honors. {Rom an Key Card Blackwood has almost killed ott this con1 SEEN LOOKIN' vention, but it can be useful when the MYSELF FER A .. asker has a void.) Leading your singleton is not a good idea - if partner has an entry, your trump ace will defeat the contract without your needing a ruff. To attack with a heart is also unwise. That leaves the black suits . The club jack is safe but too passive. North was interested in a grand slam. Partne r will not have th e king and queen of clubs. Instead, lead a spade, hoping partner has the queen. At the table, North had really dropped the ball by failing to convert six hearts to six no -trump. South then misguessed ~ the play. He coul d have taken the spade ~'( l"-1~1 (,!.::, finesse to get home, but he hoped three rounds of diam onds would stand up (Diamonds 4-3 - 62.17 percent - is more likely than a SO·SO.finesse.)
