...election hand over volumes of paper to Republican investigators on Capitol Hill. And the chivalrous tone of his rhetoric--"It was an honor to work for him, and it is still an honor to work for him," he told the Washington Post--protests a bit too much, laying bare some wounded pride. But the former deputy chief of staff says his cooperation with Representative Dan Burton's Government Reform and Oversight Committee is not retribution but common sense: he believes it would be easier--and cheaper--to comply with a request for documents than pay his lawyer to cope with...
...drawn to black garb and death-rock music. Styling themselves after Manson gives them power: it strikes a blow against conformity and repulses their parents. Manson and his shock troupe never shy away from a chance to indulge in violent titillation. At a Florida concert last fall, Manson squirmed bare-chested on a carpet of broken glass.

And he had already been a Senator on the screen by the time Tennessee voters got around to electing...
...other crimes. The criminal investigation stalled because Kott could not be extradited from Canada. Kott settled the case against him and other operators of the boiler room for about $4 million. This was pocket change in comparison with what First Commerce collected. Prosecutor Koers estimates that investors lost a bare minimum of $100 million. Jan van Apeldoorn, the bankruptcy receiver, believes the total damage was as high as $400 million. Having been made unwelcome in the Netherlands, Kott, together with some of his associates, continued to push highly speculative stocks using brokerage firms in other countries, including Britain, Luxembourg...
