...climbing two years ago, remains unshakably upbeat: "I'm really sad I didn't find it earlier in life." He'll climb again in September. Other common problems include back pain (from falls and carrying packs), pulled tendons and altitude-related infections. Then there are the more exotic ailments. Chuck Armatys, 52, lost the tip of his big toe summiting Everest and the end of his ring finger on Illampu, Bolivia, both from frostbite. "The things you lose in the mountains," he muses merrily...
...mild-mannered Prince has plenty of supporters. "Chuck has very good judgment, often in tough business situations," says Robert Greenhill, the veteran investment banker who ran Smith Barney and worked with Prince in the mid-1990s. Prince also wins high praise from his adversary in the stock research dustup, New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. Late last December, Spitzer was trying to wind up a $1.4 billion settlement with 10 brokerages (including Citi) that had been accused of misleading clients with faulty stock research.

...sign of the great democratization of plastic surgery that her unveiling can be portrayed as a family event--like a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, only slightly more disturbing. "Having work done" was once something rich people did, quietly, and everyone else whispered about, cattily. Then came Botox--the relatively cheap and painless gateway drug of cosmetic work--and plastic surgery was being touted in women's magazines and on talk shows. This has been a boon to surgeons, but it has turned plastic surgery into the new Las Vegas: once laced with glamour and vice, now opened...
