His new indirect position via Cascade is 37,633,936.  If you lookthrough his last holdings at the end of the last quarter (9/30), that is up from 34,873,836.

The transaction date was listed as January 8 at an average priceof $25.39. It seems that retired billionaires must want to be garbagemen.  Or maybe they just want to own the garbage companies.
