| Goldman Sachs: Only time, not public relations, will restore Goldman Sachs’ old aura. Its $500 million plan to support 10,000 US small businesses alongside Warren Buffett is praiseworthy. But some $17 billion in accrued pay for nine months of work and continuing rumblings of bailout favouritism risk making it look nothing but a PR gesture. |
