Today is the tenth anniversary...

...of the notorious AOL-Time Warner deal. It was the largest transaction in history and widely thought to be the worst merger ever. Oh well.

I don't have anything new to add, except that Gerald Levin, the former head of Time Warner, now runs a holistic healing center in Santa Monica, California. Stephen Case, the co-founder of AOL, graduated from Punahou School in Honolulu in 1976, the alma mater of Barack Obama ('79). Case now lives in McLean, Virginia, in the childhood home of Jacqueline Bouvier.
