John M. Deutch - Wikipedia

In 1995, President Bill Clinton appointed him Director of Central Intelligence. As Deutch was initially reluctant to accept the appointment, the position was conferred with Cabinet rank, a perquisite ultimately retained by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_M._D…

successor George Tenet through the end of the Clinton administration. As head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Deutch continued the policy of his predecessor R. James Woolsey to declassify records pertaining to U.S. covert operations during the Cold War.[

Clinton chose Woolsey for CIA director because the Clinton campaign had courted neoconservatives leading up to the 1992 election, promising to assist democratic Taiwan, Bosnia in Bosnian War, and be tougher on human rights violations in China, and it was decided that they ought

to give at least one neoconservative a job in the administration.

Woolsey was CIA director when Aldrich Ames was arrested, on February 21, 1994,[5] for treason and spying against the United States.

Woolsey currently sits on the Strategic Advisory Board for Genie Energy with Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, and Lord Jacob Rothschild. Genie is

known for discovering a "massive" oil strata in Syrias Golan Heights near Israel.

On October 27, 2017, Woolsey's spokesman told NBC News that Woolsey has cooperated with the investigations of the FBI and that of Special Counsel Robert Mueller into a meeting that then-

Donald Trump campaign advisor Michael Flynn held in September 2016.[24] Woolsey alleges that, during the meeting, Flynn offered to help officials of Turkish government return Turkish dissident Fethullah Gülen to Turkey.

Woolsey is a descendant of George (Joris) Woolsey, one of the earliest settlers of New Amsterdam, and Thomas Cornell.

In 1963, he received his BA from Stanford University (Phi Beta Kappa), and in 1965 his MA from University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, and an LLB from Yale Law School in 1968.

John Mark Deutch (born July 27, 1938) is an American physical chemist and civil servant. He was the United States Deputy Secretary of Defense from 1994 to 1995 and Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from May 10, 1995 until December 15, 1996.[2] He is an emeritus Institute

Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and serves on the boards of directors of Citigroup, Cummins, Raytheon, and Schlumberger Ltd. Deutch is also a member of the Trilateral Commission.

Tenet held the position as the DCI from July 1997 to July 2004, making him the second-longest-serving director in the agency's history—behind Allen Welsh Dulles—as well as one of the few DCIs to serve under two U.S. presidents of opposing political parties. He played a key role

in overseeing intelligence regarding weapons of mass destruction in advance of the Iraq War.

In 1973, Allen & Company bought a stake in Columbia Pictures. When the business was sold in 1982 to Coca-Cola, it netted a significant profit. Since then, Herbert Allen, Jr. has had a

place on Coca-Cola's board of directors.
Since its founding in 1982, the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference has regularly drawn high-profile attendees such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Rupert Murdoch, Barry Diller, Michael Eisner, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Johnson, Andy Grove,

Richard Parsons, and Donald Keough.

In November 2013, Allen & Co. was one of seven underwriters on the initial public offering of Twitter.[9] Allen & Co. was the adviser of Facebook in its $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp in February 2014.[10]
In 2015, Allen & Co. was the

advisor to Time Warner Cable in its $80 billion 2015 merger with Charter Communications,[11] AOL in its acquisition by Verizon,[12] Centene Corporation in its $6.8 billion acquisition of Health Net,[13] and eBay in its separation from PayPal.[14]
In 2016, Allen & Co was

the lead advisor to Time Warner in its $108 billion acquisition by AT&T,[15] LinkedIn for its merger talks with Microsoft,[16] Walmart in its $3.3 billion

Greenberg married Caral Gimbel (daughter of Bernard Gimbel of the Gimbel's New York department store family) on February 18, 1946, three days after signing a $60,000 ($787,000 today) contract with the Tigers. The couple had three children—sons Glenn H. Greenberg and Stephen and

a daughter, Alva—before divorcing in 1958.

Saks was founded by Horace Saks in New York City. In 1923, Gimbels purchased Saks, which became a subsidiary of Gimbel Brothers, Incorporated, a publicly traded company. Adam Long Gimbel, grandson of the founder of Gimbels, Adam

Gimbel, turned Saks into a national brand. In 1973, Brown & Williamson, who later formed BATUS Inc., acquired Gimbel Bros. and the Saks Fifth Avenue brand.[7] BATUS closed Gimbels in 1986,[7] and subsequently sold Saks to Investcorp S.A. in 1990.

The company was formed in 1902, when the United Kingdom's Imperial Tobacco Company and the United States' American Tobacco Company agreed to form a joint venture, the "British-American Tobacco Company Ltd."[6] The parent companies agreed not to trade in each other's domestic

territory and to assign trademarks, export businesses and overseas subsidiaries to the joint venture. James Buchanan Duke became company chairman and business was begun in countries as diverse as Canada, China, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, but not in the

United Kingdom or in the United States.[6]
In China, BAT inherited a factory in the Pudong district of Shanghai from W.D. & H.O. Wills, one of the precursor companies of Imperial Tobacco.
