...same time, privacy is not an absolute value. With U.S. banks being used as a conduit for drug money, for example, law-enforcement officials have pressed them to report any suspicious movement of cash.

"The social value of helping to fight drugs outweighs, at least to some extent, the privacy issue," says Jack Kilhefner, senior vice president at Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco...

In the tangled fight for RJR Nabisco, she failed to soften the reckless bravado of client Ross Johnson in his abortive attempt to buy the food and tobacco company he headed. The defeat was a setback for her husband too. American Express's Shearson Lehman unit had bankrolled Johnson, and Jim Robinson had worked closely on the deal.
