...with much interest that i read Jack White's article on Nigerians' blighted hopes ((NIGERIA, Sept. 6)). In particular the reference to the U.S. government's ''quietly warning businessmen to beware of scams in which executives are lured to Nigeria . . . only to be kidnapped and held for ransom'' caught my attention. In fact, we would like our warnings to be much more public. Too many U.S. businesses and individuals have lost tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars, and at least one businessman has lost his life. Yet the volume and variety of these scams remain overwhelming...
...Randy Andy'' for squiring a variety of comely young women about town. The most famous of them was soft-porn Film Starlet Koo Stark. Now Andrew, 26, who is to wed Sarah Ferguson next month, is polishing his image. In a fund-raising speech before a group of London businessmen last week, Andrew decried loose morals. Said he: ''Moral pollution may well be a strong phrase to use, but I feel that it is justified, particularly when you look at the amount of gratuitous violence purveyed on television and in the name of entertainment.'' Andrew also excoriated drug and alcohol...

Governor Bill Sheffield...
...current wave of prosecutorial zeal kicked off in February when German authorities arrested Klaus Zumwinkel, the CEO of Deutsche Post and one of the country's most prominent businessmen, for allegedly evading some $1 million in taxes by funneling money through foundations in Liechtenstein. The German tax cops got the goods on Zumwinkel with their own bit of skulduggery: they bought records stolen by a former employee of the Liechtenstein bank LGT Group, owned by that Alpine nation's royal family. Other tax authorities piled on, including the IRS. In February, the IRS said it was investigating more than...
...billion, over the next four years to help the civilian government with education reform, health care and infrastructure. It's a welcome move, but opening up the U.S. market to Pakistani products such as textiles would provide a longer-term - and taint-free - solution. The chorus among businessmen and analysts across the country is "trade, not aid." The U.S. presence in Pakistan, particularly in the FATA, is viewed with suspicion. American Predator drone attacks on apparent al-Qaeda targets have claimed scores of civilian lives, and the Pakistani military presence in the FATA is seen to be at the behest...
