FRIENDS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE

“In 1981, he [David Rubenstein] took a job in the mergers-and-acquisitions group at the Washington-based law firm Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge, but he soon started exploring a career change. Legal work bored him, and he was in touch with friends from his days at the White House who were prospering in business.”
