[lbo-talk] Dracula separated from his coffin

[Doug Henwood]

[Rejecting suggestions that Rupert Murdoch might sell the Post in the  
early 1980s, Alex Cockburn said it would be like Dracula selling his  
coffin. Evidently this ghoul is having a harder time of it.]

Donald Trump has abandoned his bid to regain control of Atlantic City  
casinos that bear his name.

Mr. Trump and his daughter Ivanka have reached a settlement agreement  
with a group of creditors in the bankruptcy battle over control of  
Trump Entertainment Resorts, which filed for bankruptcy protection in  
February. Mr. Trump stepped down as chairman of the company in February.

Under the deal, the Trumps will drop their bid to take control of the  
casinos and cease all litigation against the noteholders. The three  
Atlantic City casinos will continue to use the Trump name and use the  
likenesses of Mr. Trump and his daughter in marketing efforts.
