What were you thinking, Warren? At his shareholders' meeting, the oracle will have to answer for his biggest management bungle. In this week's Newsweek, Buffett biographer Roger Lowenstein investigates the ethically "obtuse" side of the great investor.
America has a way of elevating its heroes beyond the realm of mere mortals. This has not been an issue on Wall Street, where heroes do not exist. Warren Buffett has been the glaring exception. An Omahan who was not of Wall Street so much as above it and who spoke in cracker-barrel English derived more from Twain than from J.P. Morgan, he fulfilled (I once wrote) America's secular myth. He was the man from the Plains whose virtue offered an antidote to the corrupt Northeast and to Wall Street in particular. It is a measure of his reputation that a radio interviewer asked me whether Buffett had, until late, behaved in a "near perfect" manner.

The News Corp. baron and the former veep are forming a conspiracy Voltron with a shale oil exploration company in Israel and Colorado, betting it will do serious business--and even transform Murdoch's media empire.
Rupert Murdoch is one of the world's best known media barons and may or may not be a bud to Steve Jobs. But as hype swelled around his iPad digital project, The Daily, Murdoch was also investing in an Israeli-American oil shale company with ties to Dick Cheney. Can his legendary business savvy help out an upstart oil firm?
Oil shale may be the answer to worries about peak oil, but it is highly expensive to extract and has a high ecological cost.
Lord Jacob Rothschild and Murdoch just purchased a joint 5.5% stake in Genie Oil and Gas Inc., a division of the Idt Corporation. The equity stake purchase by Murdoch and Rothschild is worth approximately $11 million.
