...have a signature event," Rod is saying as he serves up drinks at the Rock Creek Lodge, a joint that has billiard tables, slot machines and a 5-ft.-tall wooden bull. It is the kind of place where you might expect to see Harry Dean Stanton in an argument with Marjoe Gortner over an eight-ball combination, a knife fight breaks out, and no one remembers either the assailants or the victims as quiet and normal. "I don't care if it's maggot races," Lincoln says. "You have to have something...
PAMPLONA, Spain: Hemingway's favorite festival, the weeklong drinking-and-bullfighting binge known as San Fermin, has claimed yet more victims. One man died Thursday when he plunged off a wall; another is in serious condition after a bull trampled on his head; a third was gored in the leg by a bull that had rid himself of his rubber horn protectors.

And a deep resume isn't necessarily a requirement for the job. Grech, for instance, has been out of business school for two years, joining precocious stock pickers like his rising Fidelity colleague Erin Sullivan, also 28. While few shops actually give newbies a chance to run a fund as early as Fidelity, it's not too hard to find a fund at any firm that's watched over...
