Vickers.

Goodbye, Miss Vickers.

From Miss Vickers?

Was Angela Vickers? What?

Is Miss Vickers around?

That's my background, Mr Vickers.

I know how you feel, Mr Vickers.

Good evening, Miss Vickers. Good evening, Mr Eastman.

Vickers gives short shrift to some of the more beguiling options.

What is it? Mr Vickers would like to see you alone.

Mr Vickers, I have no desire to harass an innocent person.

You weren't staying with your family. You were staying with Angela Vickers.

We'll go to the Vickers' and see what they have to say.

In the United Kingdom, the government created the Vickers Commission to recommend a solution.

Let's take you to the Vickers' and see what your friends say about you.

It is obviously not ideal that the US has the Volcker rule and the UK has Vickers

The French plan looks more like a Gallic version of the Volcker rule than Vickers à la française.

Vickers is no more enamored of so called limited purpose banking, in which all debt is effectively securitized.

When Mr Eastman engaged us to defend you, we made an agreement not to drag Miss Vickers into the case.

The Vickers commission s proposals also depend on sophisticated regulation, which assumes, against history, that regulators will always be one step ahead of bankers.

A version of the Vickers Commission s recommendations, which is somewhat more flexible than its members proposed, is in a banking bill currently before Parliament.

Are Weill and Vickers right now, people are asking, or was Weill right two decades ago, when he backed allowing investment and commercial banks to merge?

Those who want the banks cut down to size, even if it is a case of cutting off one s nose to spite one s face, are not happy with Vickers.

In the UK, an Independent Commission on Banking, headed by Sir John Vickers, rejected separation of retail from investment banking, recommending instead ring fencing deposits from the investment arms of universal banks.

A commission headed by Sir John Vickers, the Oxford economist and former Bank of England chief economist, wants banks retail operations to be ring fenced from riskier trading and investment banking businesses.

A fifth plane, BOAC Flight 775, a Vickers VC10 coming from Bahrain, was hijacked on 9 September by a PFLP sympathizer and brought to Dawson's Field in order to pressure the British to free Khaled.

The group s report, published in October 2012, came to a similar conclusion as the Vickers Commission concerning the danger of brigading retail and investment banking activities in the same legal entity, and recommended separating the two.

The impetus for the rethinking is, of course, the recent financial crisis. Are Weill and Vickers right now, people are asking, or was Weill right two decades ago, when he backed allowing investment and commercial banks to merge?

Vickers is no more enamored of so called limited purpose banking, in which all debt is effectively securitized. There would be a decrease in economic value added from intermediation, and loans to small and medium size enterprises would be badly affected.

The Commission is chaired by Sir John Vickers, the Warden of All Souls College, Oxford, which in British academia is about as good as it gets. At his side sits Martin Wolf of The Financial Times, so a good reception in the pink pages can be expected.
