...These days Dayton has lost his swagger. As the Chandra Levy case drags on, Dayton finds himself under the hot lights along with his boss. Law-enforcement officials have questioned Dayton about whether he tried to hinder their investigation. Dayton denies any such thing. Still, he has retained a top Washington criminal-defense lawyer, Stanley Brand. Another top Condit aide, chief of staff Mike Lynch, who publicly denied the affair in the weeks before Condit admitted it to the police, has hired ex?Timothy McVeigh prosecutor Beth Wilkinson. (Lynch has not been questioned recently, a source tells TIME.) Suddenly...
...York City. The central character, Sherman, slaves away at a Manhattan bookstore while struggling with aspirations of being a writer and coping with his self-destructive girlfriend. Meanwhile his best-friend, Ed, employed as the assistant to an old-time comicbook "legend," begins a crusade to earn his craggy boss compensation for the lucrative characters he signed away fifty years...

Takenaka says the economy could grow...
...Montedison bid. Cuccia's death at 92 a year ago - followed by a grotesque episode in which his corpse was stolen in a failed attempt to extract ransom - may have weakened the bank's backroom clout. Mediobanca managing director Vincenzo Maranghi, whatever his virtues, hasn't acquired his late boss's godlike mystique. Enter the French. In May, the state electric utility Electricité de France (EDF) picked up 20% of the shares in Montedison. That position seemed to constitute a serious challenge to Montedison's Mediobanca-approved management. The center-left government of Giuliano Amato then passed a decree...
