Speaking of Nymphets

[Paul Mackin]

It wasn't the plane but Beauty that  killed the Beast.

 From the New York Times

  "[William Weld]  resigned as Massachusetts governor in 1997, hoping  
to become ambassador to Mexico. After his nomination foundered, he  
moved to New York and began working as outside counsel to an equity  
fund started by Jeffrey Leeds, a financier with whom he shared a love  
of the novels of Vladimir Nabokov. In January 2001, Mr. Weld became a  
full partner with Mr. Leeds.

"According to friends, Mr. Weld was eager to make money and liked the  
education focus of Mr. Leeds's equity fund, which was investing in  
schools and training. Its business model was to purchase schools,  
make them more valuable, and sell them for a profit. In 2000, Leeds  
paid $140 million to buy Ross University, a medical and veterinary  
school in the Caribbean, and three years later sold it for $310  
million, Mr. Weld said."
