| Chicago, known for corner pubs and its array of surprising sausage
and cheese amalgamations, is considering a similar ordinance that would
affect restaurants with $20 million or less in revenues. In navigating these amalgamations of old
and new at MoMA, one felt quite like Jake in Ernest Hemingway's The
Sun Also Rises when he arrives in Pamplona along 'the road slanting
up steeply and dustily with shade-trees on both sides, and then
levelling out through the new part of town they are building up outside
the old walls. Despite these concerns, the final regulations allow consolidations
and amalgamations to qualify, because the Service did not believe that
the existence of the consolidating or amalgamating entities within the
resulting corporation prevents a consolidation or an amalgamation from
qualifying as a statutory merger or consolidation. |
