Adolphus Busch Endorses InBev Takeover

Sam Jones has the letter from Adolphus Busch IV in which he comes out in favor of the takeover by InBev, at InBev's price of $65 a share.

Adolphus Busch IV, of course, isn't as important as Augustus Busch IV, who's the CEO. But Adolphus can do things like speak to what the Busch family was thinking "when Anheuser-Busch became a public company". It seems that the Busch family is now less opposed to a sale than Missouri's elected representatives are. Which means that the sale is going to happen.
