#7 From one of the google search entries and auto translated from French:

Media. According to the New York Post, Saddam Hussein would hold 2 % of the capital of Lagardere SCA, the head office of Hatchet Filipacchi Media. This participation, held via the Swiss structure Montana Management, would represent an amount of 90 million dollars. Before the war of the Gulf, in 1990, the participation of Saddam Hussein was 8,4 %. Lagardere SCA indicates that this participation is cold today in agreement with the decisions of UNO and that Saddam Hussein does not have any representation at the Management committee of the group.

#8 We don't subscribe to any magazines, so I can't boycott them. My wife occasionally buys Woman's Day at the grocer's. I would like to participate, however. I'll have to get online and visit some of these magazines, and start targeting their sponsors.
