...Richer, For Poorer: Mothers Confront Divorce, Demie Kurz examines the impact of divorce on American women. Her book is a counter argument to this conservative attitude of politicians who blame female-headed households for the decline of family values, high crime rates, and "epidemic" rise in teen pregnancy...

Much of the blame was placed on regulators who seemed oblivious to B.C.C.I.'s frauds. No one is suggesting that this is another B.C.C.I. case in the making. When questioned about Investcorp's practices, its officials noted that the bank is licensed in Bahrain and is well supervised. "It's a very strong regulatory agency...
