America's biggest lender, Chase Manhattan, saw its "nonperforming" assets in Asia triple in the first three months of 1998, to $243 million, due in part to derivatives. At the end of last year, its total risk from Asian derivatives--should others default--was more than $3 billion. Bankers Trust's derivatives' delinquencies have leaped from zero to $330 million in a year, and the compass points to Indonesian and Thai clients...
...institution holding the biggest bag of derivatives is Chase, with $7.6 trillion. Interestingly, Chase raised the red flag in its 1997 annual report, noting, "Management expects there will be an increase in nonperforming assets in 1998 primarily as a result of the deterioration of credit conditions in a number of Asian countries."

He made her a screen saver that says...

Because their tumors develop almost overnight, says Merck's Oliff, "we can do tests 10 or 100 times more quickly than in humans." Their usefulness varies with diseases, though. He notes that rodents are better predictors of human reaction to cardiovascular or anti-inflammatory agents than to cancer or diseases of the central nervous system. But that's a trade-off researchers are more than willing to accept in their search for a cancer cure...
