It's a NY Times obituary (pay attention to the subscription barrier). Theodore J. Forstman, an early leveraged buyout operator, died at age 71. The barbarians comment goes back to the late 1980s. "He played ice hockey at Yale and put himself through Columbia Law School with proceeds from gambling on bridge." He also donated on a huge scale to charities, mostly for children.
