Oddly, in one sense he was. Many of his real estate deals--confiscated and resold by the feds at fire-sale prices--are today worth a fortune. If Keating had been able to ride out the real estate crash that bankrupted operators just as smart as he was, bondholders might have got their money back. But that's a junk-bond if. The Phoenician, derided as a symbol of Keating's wretched excess, is a crown jewel for its new owner, ITT-Sheraton, and worth at least twice what Keating spent to build...
...Then the crash hit. October of 1987 meant that, along with quite a few of his Harvard peers, Kevin got booted from banking. The immense losses sustained by the banks resulted in huge staff cuts. What was one to do then with Street hiring in tatters and Harvard diploma in hand? Kevin's best option was a Connecticut financial planning company, and it was livable, but it wasn't close to what he wanted to be doing with his life.

In the days after the crash, he slipped away to Switzerland. Reached by TIME, he said, "The accident, in my opinion, was not because she was drunk, but because she got very emotional. There was a Madonna song playing, and she loves Madonna; she was like performing, she was getting into it. So I don't think...
...weekend. Baiul, whose blood alcohol easily exceeded the state limit, and who is two years short of the legal drinking age of 21, was released on her own recognizance and is now recovering at home in Simsbury, Conn. from a concussion and scalp cut. Also injured in the crash was fellow Ukrainian skater Ararat Zakarian, 30, who suffered a broken finger. The two were returning to Baiul's home after watching an ice pageant Saturday evening in Hartford. In a statement released Tuesday, the skater asked friends and fans for their understanding and apologized "for the mistake I made...
