...Annan's dignity really a disadvantage? Observe, for a moment, Annan in Ghana. His motorcade arrives at a local market, and he discovers, much to his delight, that the Ghanaian national soccer team is practicing nearby. So he strolls over to where a crowd has gathered, hoping to catch a few minutes of the scrimmage. It is not possible. The mob erupts when they see him, shouting and dancing. Annan's security guards quickly press him back into his car. They try to drive away, but the thick, gleeful crowd has the cars glued in place. The Ghanaians risk trampling...
...were caught. For years I.O.C. czar Juan Antonio Samaranch has exhibited a pronounced ambivalence about drug use, and certainly his stance has allowed a number of golden boys and girls to keep their images shiny while doping.

The I.O.C. should call an emergency session and make a new rule applying to all sports, then send...

Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley managed to build international investment banking operations on their own; others may have to get out their checkbook, like Credit Suisse and UBS, if they want to catch up. Most likely to get swallowed: independent securities firms such as Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and J.P. Morgan. And at today's prices - Credit Suisse paid $90 for DLF shares that were going for $65 on Monday - that makes them must-swallows for investors...
