WARREN'S MERGER

Just because a guy is frugal, bespectacled and leery of tech stocks doesn't mean he isn't a playa. WARREN BUFFETT, 76, the world's second-richest man, just married ASTRID MENKS, 60, at his daughter's Omaha, Neb., home. That's no big surprise: they have been together for decades. The odd thing is Buffett was married to his first wife until her death in 2004, and she approved of his relationship with Menks (she introduced them). After the 15-min. civil ceremony, the wedding party dined at a seafood place. And, since you can't put a price-to-earnings on happiness, shares of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway rose 0.3%.
