From Forbes: Carl Icahn’s offices carry a distinct museum quality. Three
decades of scalps, resulting from some of the most famous hostile takeovers,
proxy fights and board assaults in American financial history, cover every

fortysomething billionaires like Michael Dell and Bill Ackman are learning to
their chagrin. In the last 15 months the 77-year-old has taken positions in and
then launched campaigns against 14 companies, a burst that has made him, at an
age when he would have long been expected to fade away, the most disruptive
individual in business, with a hand in almost every major corporate story in America…..
