Lehman Edition: Follow the jump for some non-Lehman reading. Business Week: So, there is nothing but Lehman Brothers coverage in the news, and you don’t need me to point you to it, but I wanted to draw attention to a specific piece of private-equity-focused analysis. Business Week asks, is it time for Lehman to go private? Dealbook responds with even more insightful commentary (and comments), including two cents from an analyst who believes Lehman’s management may be able to piece together enough money to buy the company. Wall Street Folly: In response to the Reuters and CNBC “debunk” that Goldman Sachs isn’t interested in buying Lehman Brothers, the blog asks: “Did anyone *really* think that Goldman would buy Lehman Brothers? Of course by now we all know the report and the blog are referring to a Goldman bailout of all of Lehman; all the hubbub over the piecemeal auction of its asset management businesses is long gone. Dealbreaker: Ok, last one, I promise. Best irreverent headline on the whole mess.
