swans.jpgSun Valley is as much about deal making as it is about being seen. Conversations hatched and introductions made by the famous duck pond at the Sun Valley Inn have led to notable deals including 1995’s purchase of CapCities/ABC by Walt Disney Co. And sometimes, they lead to nothing more than indigestion. We’ll keep a running log:

The New York Times spotted these guys in a lounge facing the duck pond.

We spotted these guys:

CBS chief Les Moonves grabbing a snack with William Morris chairman Jim Wiatt and The Weinstein Co.’s Harvey Weinstein.

Moonves again sneaking away with Comcast’s CEO Brian Roberts and COO Stephen Burke.

The Weinstein Co.’s Harvey Weinstein lunching with RLJ Co. and BET founder Robert Johnson.
