Quoted in this morning’s New York Times in the story on the battle between activist investors, Carl Icahn and John Paulson, and A.I.G., the giant insurance company of some financial crisis renown.

“Icahn and Paulson don’t want just board seats,” said Erik Gordon, a clinical assistant professor at University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. “ They want a breakup.”
