...this to-do is Milton Berle, a jack-of-all-turns vaudeville comic who has gone into television... His show is a weekly catchall of the things the 40-year-old comic has learned in 35 hard-working years in show business. Berle uses not only his brash, strongbow-shaped mouth to get off his loud, fast, uneven volley of one-line gags; with expert timing and tireless bounce, he also hurls his whole 6 feet and 191 dieted pounds into every act of his show. His motto is still "anything for a laugh"--and practically anything he does gets...

...news, when it broke, was greeted with astonishment in the Baltimore suburb of Mount Washington, where Rusnak's neighbors had only kind words for him. He certainly doesn't fit the stereotype of a brash young Master of the Universe. His career had been steady rather than spectacular. After a long stint at Chemical Bank (now part of JP Morgan Chase), he joined Allfirst in 1993 and scarcely made a ripple. He was "not in any sense a star trader," Buckley said. His personal life was equally unremarkable. Married with two kids and a Labrador, he attended services...
