Slim's Doings

Daniel Hernandez has a piece on Carlos Slim's recent maneuvers, both in business and philanthropy. I'm not sure if it's that I've only been reading a lot about Slim since I moved to Mexico and a lot of my preconceived notions have been proven wrong by the magnate's multi-faceted but static personality, or if Slim really has changed the way he operates recently, but it sure seems like his public image has added a lot of gold stars to balance out his monopolistic demerits over the past few years.
