  • Fascinating

    The Crandall interview was excellent! Brought back memories of the 90’s in Colombia when Xtrata and Glencore entered the coal market with such (perceived) reckless abandon! And kudos to Mr. Crandall for his candor and willingness to share intimate details of the Marc Rich origin story. Nicely done Paul!
