Maine Mall stakeholders at risk

Ever wonder how "flat" the world could get for NY Times columnist Tom Friedman?

Here's a fascinating Maine connection to the global panic that seems to be impinging on the family fortune of the smarmy writer:
the author?s wife, Ann (n?e Bucksbaum), is an heir to the General Growth fortune. In the past year, the couple?who live in an 11,400-square-foot mansion in Bethesda, Maryland?have watched helplessly as General Growth stock has fallen 99 percent, from a high of $51 to a recent 35 cents a share.
General Growth is the owner of the Maine Mall in South Portland, recently reported to be facing bankruptcy.
