...spokesman for the Palestinian intifada. Barghouti grabbed just such an opportunity during his brief appearance Tuesday, directing his political message at Israelis. And his lawyer has also made clear that Barghouti's legal defense is rooted in the premise that the Israeli court has no authority to try his client, something Barghouti's representatives have maintained since his capture by an Israeli special forces unit outside Ramallah...
FUND MANAGEMENT Investors Stake Their Claim The relationship between fund manager and client continues to take a litigious turn. Last week, the investment bank Merrill Lynch & Co. settled a dispute with the British supermarket group J. Sainsbury over alleged mismanagement of Sainsbury's pension fund. The undisclosed settlement helped Merrill avoid a repeat of its court battle last year with Anglo-Dutch concern Unilever, also over pension fund mismanagement. In that case, Unilever had alleged that returns on its pension fund had trailed the market by an amount larger than was permitted under the terms of its contract with Mercury...
...observers, who speculate that the naval battle may have been an accidental clash rather than a deliberate provocation. The country's recent reforms and overtures are, in fact, in keeping with an agenda dating back to the late 1980s, when the Soviet Union unraveled and left its client state, North Korea, without a dependable source of oil and food.

Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa in Asheville, N.C., offers "Fire, Rock, Water and Light," in which the client's body is patted down with cool water, exfoliated with a blend of sugar and aromatic oil, painted with buttermilk and honey and then wrapped, whereafter cool rocks are stroked on the face. Once demummified, the client is given a "waterfall massage"--a spraying by multiple showerheads. In September the North Carolina Association of Realtors will send 1,000 participants to a conference at Grove Park...
...defendant's bellyaching, this time, would not get him off. The attorneys for Hutomo Mandala Putra (known as Tommy Suharto) insisted their client's stomach cramps and headache had kept him in his comfortable, air-conditioned cell?outfitted with a television and a stereo system?and away from the Jakarta courtroom where a five-judge panel was set to rule on whether their defendant was guilty of arranging the murder of a judge, fleeing from justice for 12 months, and possessing illegal rifles, handguns, grenades and explosives. Such was the reputation of Tommy, 40, the youngest son of former Indonesian...
