Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, certainly has not forgotten Keating either. In the 1970s and early '80s, Keating became an antismut crusader, attacking Flynt and winning an appointment from Richard Nixon to an antipornography commission. Flynt told TIME, "The Keatings of this world are the real perverts. You can't dismiss him as someone who just wanted to take people's money; he's one of the most dangerous men in America because he is completely intolerant of others and believes he is always right...
Today, Kevin lives year-round in the Green Mountain State with his second wife and their child. Upon graduation, Kevin had shipped off to Wall Street like so many of his money-driven go-go '80s peers. It wasn't his first choice, but he had outstanding student loans. His parents thought it proper that he pay them off, and get some of that work ethic into his mind to wear off the towered Ivy League mind-set he then had.

Even bottom-tier funds in the '80s and '90s have been good enough to embarrass bank CDs, the likely repository for savings that aren't in stocks. Still, people left CDs for a reason. Having correctly made that tough decision years ago, they should not be grateful now for lackluster results. Even though their money on the whole has more...
...Wisconsin you can buy a Packers casket for $2,495. Actually, many people in the N.F.L. in the '80s thought the Packers belonged in a pine box, along with the idea of a small town owning a team. But in 1992 Harlan hired general manager Ron Wolf, who hired coach Mike Holmgren, who unleashed the potential in a backup quarterback acquired from the Atlanta Falcons named Brett Favre...
