...most brazen officers was Perez's friend David Mack. Mack is serving a 14-year prison sentence for robbing a bank of $722,000. After the robbery, Perez says he traveled to Las Vegas with Mack for a high-living gambling spree. Mack has reportedly renounced his police associations and claims to belong to the Piru Bloods, an L.A. street gang. And the Los Angeles Times has reported that Mack is being investigated in connection with the murder of Christopher Wallace--the rapper Notorious B.I.G.--who was shot to death after leaving a party...
...bespectacled, tweedy Lowell Liebermann seemed staggered by the sight and sound of his first standing ovation, Texas-style. Andrew Litton and the Dallas Symphony had just premiered his Second Symphony, and the first-nighters earlier this month jumped to their feet and shouted with understandable delight. Now brazen and glittering, now radiantly visionary, the Liebermann Second, a resplendent choral symphony based on the poetry of Walt Whitman, is the work of a composer unafraid of grand gestures and openhearted lyricism.

In that time, Gates also embodied the resurgence of American entrepreneurship and inspired a generation of the brazen, young and techno-savvy to take chances. Some have argued that no single person has ever created more global capital. Yet the uncertainty brought on by the lessened role of the tech revolution's leader comes just as huge questions are emerging about the future of the software industry...
...months, Moscow and Washington have quarreled over how many spies to let into each other's country under diplomatic cover. The Russians feel the U.S. has been stingy; the U.S. says the Russians have been "brazen and blatant," but "we've thwarted" them. The tension broke last week in Moscow with the arrest of CHERI LEBERKNIGHT, 33, ostensibly a U.S. embassy official but actually a CIA spy, according to the Russians. More schoolmarm than Mata Hari in looks, she was snatched late Monday with "ink tablets for secret correspondence" and equipment for detecting surveillance, says Moscow. Administration and intelligence officials...
