Prodded by the Left, Mexico's Richest Man Talks Equity - The New York Times - June 3, 2006
"Damian Fraser, chief Latin America equity strategist at UBS Warburg in Mexico City, said it was probably a little of both. "He's become a lot wealthier, and whether he likes it or not he's become a much higher profile international figure," Mr. Fraser said of Mr. Slim.

Ratan Tata, the soft-spoken man of steel - Hindustan Times — January 31, 2007
"His grit and determination are best epitomised in what he said in an interview. "I am unfortunately a person, who has often said: You put a gun to my head and pull the trigger or take the gun away, I won't move my head." That is a rare insight into a man who protects his privacy, integrity and patriotism in equal measures."
