Sycamore to Buy Talbots for $369M by VICKI M ARMANI’S BEIJING BRIDGET FOLEY’S DIARY BASH WINDOW-WATCHING AT BARNEYS PAGE 13 PAGE 3 TOUGH TURNAROUND Jean-Paul Agon Sycamore to Buy Talbots for $369M By VICKI M. YOUNG THE TALBOTS INC. ended up with Sycamore Partners after all. Sycamore is buying the struggling women’s spe- cialty chain for $193.3 million in cash. Including net debt, the transaction has a total value of $369 million. FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2012 ■ $3.00 ■ WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY The deal is expected to close in the third quarter. The acquisition price will give shareholders $2.75 WWD a share, less than the $3.05 a share that was previ- ously put on the table by the private equity fi rm. The price per share that shareholders will receive CEO SUMMIT 2012 is still far more than the closing price of Talbots’ stock on Wednesday, which was $1.29 a share. Shares of Talbots spiked 89.2 percent to $2.44 in trading Thursday on the Big Board. Stefan Kaluzny, managing director of Sycamore Partners, said his fi rm is looking forward to a “long and successful partnership with Talbots serving its many loyal customers.” Trudy Sullivan, Talbots’ president and chief execu- Beauty’s tive offi cer, said, “Sycamore Partners is a strong in- For three days in May, top leaders of the global cosmetics industry gathered vestor with substantial resources and expertise, and we look forward to operating as a private company in Palm Beach, Fla., to explore the under their ownership.” shifting landscape and emerging Sullivan plans to step down at Talbots on June 30, or sooner if her successor is found. consumers that pose a riddle as well Thursday’s announcement was an abrupt change as a much-sought prize.

Talbots has been struggling with persistent losses, a multiyear decline of its stock price and liquidity concerns.

Scott Philip. Harry Truman was president of the United Beattie States and Winston Churchill was the British prime minister. And on Feb. 6, 1952, Elizabeth Windsor be- came Queen of England. Her coronation on June 2, Zhuo “Joe” 1953, seemed to herald a new era for Britain — for on Wang the same day it was announced that a British-led team had conquered the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest. Flash-forward 60 years and it once again seems Britain’s time. The nation is preparing to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee — making her the sec- ond-longest-serving monarch after Queen Victoria. London is hosting the Summer Olympics for the fi rst time since 1948. All that’s needed is for a Briton to win Wimbledon and it would seem the stars were in absolutely perfect alignment. That’s unlikely to happen, but nothing would sur- prise the 86-year-old monarch with the white set curls, megawatt smile and penchant for horse racing, homeo- pathic remedies, corgis and silk Hermès head scarves. Throughout her six-decade reign, she’s weathered family tragedy, scandal, mishaps and more — and has remained as implacable as Mount Everest itself. Her famous annus horribilis in 1992 — when she marked her 40 years as queen — was a particularly trying time in a diffi cult decade that saw her family behaving badly and public opinion for the monarchy hitting a low.

    BIO (LONG) What started out in 1982 at a Western Massachusetts elderly housing project to joyfully pass the time instead of passing before your time has developed into the stereotype-defying, generation- crossing musical extravaganza better known as The Young@Heart Chorus. Featured in the 2018 E*Trade Super Bowl ad and stars of the hit Fox Searchlight documentary Young@Heart, this group of spirited seniors, ranging in age from 73-91, has toured from Northampton to New Zealand, Europe to Japan, proving it’s “possible to grow old without growing boring.” (The Dartmouth) In 2008, Young@Heart made its first visit to perform for inmates at a local prison, arriving at Hampshire County Jail with no idea what would happen. The results were inspiring. In 2014, we returned, this time to make music with, and not for, the incarcerated. Our weekly rehearsals continue at the Hampshire County Jail and House of Correction in Northampton and the Western Massachusetts Regional Women's Correctional Center in Chicopee. We rehearse new songs with 3 groups of dedicated singers. Every 6 months or so we hold a concert in each prison for the incarcerated and prison staff with the prison groups backed by Young@Heart Chorus and Band. Based on the success of our first “Intergenerational Mash-Up” in February 2013, Young@Heart continues it’s annual series of collaborative concerts with some of the best children’s music groups in the country including the renowned Staten Island, New York-based, fifth grade singing group PS22 Chorus, Springfield, Massachusetts’ SciTech Band, a revered local 300-member high school ensemble, the Chicago Children’s Choir, and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus.

  • Shifting Australian Public Opinion on the Monarchy
    THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY Loyal to the Crown: Shifting Australian Public Opinion on the Monarchy Prepared for delivery at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Political Studies Association, Sheffield, March 30 – April 1 Luke J. Mansillo 10 February 2015 Over the past half century the Australian public has remained divided on the issue of whether Australia should retain the monarchy or become a republic. Clive Bean (1993) found there had been remarkable stability on the issue and evidence of a long-term trend away from support for the monarchy with a sudden decline in 1992. This article adopts Bean’s (1993) longitudinal cross- sectional methods to examine the social and political basis of public attitudes. This articles analyses the Australian Election Study (1993-2013) to compare Bean’s results and reanalyse earlier data from the National Social Science Surveys and Australian National Political Attitudes surveys (1967-1990). Public opinion has been fluid and is now at a crossroads between the 1980s high and the 1990s lows. Cohort analysis suggests socialisation impacts long term opinions. Gender and ethnic nationalism also influences opinion. It has been put ‘The survival of the monarchy in late twentieth century Britain is a socio- psychological phenomenon of strange proportions’ (Billig [1992]2002:1). If so the monarchy’s survival in twenty-first century Australia is far more outlandish. What is more peculiar is monarchy’s growing antipodean popularity. In the lead up to the 1999 referendum public opinion wilted for the monarchy (Bean 1993: 191) in spite of this the referendum failed (McAllister 2002) as voters took a least risk strategy opting to keep the Queen to one day vote for a congressional system instead of alter a parliamentary one (Davidson et al.
