Civic life
In 1995 Forstmann was given the "Patron of the Arts Award" by the National
Academy of Popular Music at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction
ceremonies.[citation needed]
Forstmann dedicated significant personal resources to the cause of education
reform. He was a prominent supporter of school choice. In 1998 he and friend
John T. Walton established the Children's Scholarship Fund to provide tuition
assistance for low-income families wanting to send their children to private
school.[citation needed]
In February 2011, Forstmann became a signatory of The Giving Pledge.[7]
He was an active member of the Republican Party.[8]
Personal life
In December 2006, newspaper reports on the inquiry into the death of Diana,
Princess of Wales alleged that U.S. intelligence agencies had bugged Forstmann's
phone or plane and monitored his relationship with Diana. She and her sons were
said to have planned to visit him in summer 1997, but British security
reportedly blocked the visit over security concerns related to the bugging.[9]
In May 2011, Forstmann was diagnosed with brain cancer and received treatment at
the Mayo Clinic. [10]
Forstmann had two children: Everest and Siya, both adopted from South Africa.

Avionics GPS Systems
Digital Anti-jam Receiver (DAR)
Raytheon's Digital Anti-jam Receiver (DAR) provides the highest possible GPS
accuracy and jamming resistance for all combat aviation missions. The DAR
ensures robust GPS navigation for the full spectrum of military aviation
missions, from precision attack and tactical airlift to unmanned reconnaissance
and strike. It represents the most advanced GPS technology available today,
combining the latest selective availability anti-spoofing module (SAASM)
receiver with the ultimate in digital anti-jam (A/J) technology.
To prevent obsolescence during the host aircraft's service life, the DAR has an
upgrade roadmap that includes all anticipated GPS modernization requirements,
including M-code, the joint precision approach and landing system (JPALS), and
civil airspace compliance.

The billionaire who beguiled Diana... and could have saved her life
By Catherine Ostler

Besotted: Princess Diana's relationship with Theodore Forstmann was still 'on
the boil' when she died, a new book claims
There was a time when it looked like New York billionaire Theodore `Teddy'
Forstmann might play Aristotle Onassis to Princess Diana's poignantly single
Jackie Kennedy.
While not blessed with the good looks of a dashing Major James Hewitt or her
other lover, swarthy art dealer Oliver Hoare, he was, like Onassis, reassuringly
rich, clever, and more than able to provide private jets and security

Excerpt:
KKR & Co. L.P. (formerly Kohlberg Kravis Roberts) is a New York City-based
private equity firm which is going public in a $1.25 billion initial public
offering (IPO). The company has refurbished its hostile takeover image and is
now seen as a kinder, gentler firm with a buy-and-build strategy. "The firm
assembles funds from institutional and wealthy investors and profits from
management fees and its direct interests. An active investor, it often
supervises or installs new management and revamps strategy and corporate
structure, selling underperforming units or adding new ones." In 2006, it had
sales of $4.4 billion and profits of $1.1 billion.
