...longer answers the telephone at State Bank of Dannebrog, Neb., with a cheery "Good morning. State Bank." Instead, she simply says, "FDIC." Bochart, a former assistant cashier, goes on to explain that State Bank, the only bank in town, has folded and been taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. "We're here," she says, "until things are cleaned up." The closing is a severe blow to Dannebrog, a farming village of 380, where the landmarks are groves of giant sycamore trees, a Lutheran church spire and the Silver Dollar Bar. Ray Johnson, owner of Johnson Grocery, may drop...
...spent just two hours considering a purchase offer of $55 a share, or $688 million in total, while the company may have been worth as much as $70 a share. The ten directors could be held personally liable for the difference. In another stunning decision last December, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation fired nine directors at Chicago's Continental Illinois Bank, holding them partly to blame for the institution's near collapse in September...

Last week the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation closed down the insolvent University Bank of Wichita, bringing to 76 the number of insured banks that have folded this year. That is the largest crop of bank failures since the Depression year of 1938 but far short of the 4,000 bank collapses in 1933, when Congress set up the FDIC to restore confidence in the financial system...
...childhood to the altar, old Drosselmeier the taleteller and Nutcracker himself are no longer marzipan creations. In Ralph Manheim's vigorous new translation, mice and soldiers, clowns and children speak out as never before, and Sendak has found pictorial equivalents for their idiosyncrasies. The illustrations will be on deposit at the Rosenbach Museum and Library of Philadelphia, which owns Tenniel's original drawings for Alice in Wonderland. A fitting destination: last century's classic has been joined by a modern candidate for that status...
