Bill Ackman Strikes Again (Friday's News & Notes)

Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management seems to be everywhere these days: the firm has been an investor in Target, Borders and Sears, as well as in General Growth Properties, the country's second largest mall owner. The firm has also made a high-profile attempt to take over Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, a sprawling residential complex in the midst of New York City.
