...Vipers, who face charges including illegal-weapons possession and conspiracy, are seemingly unobtrusive, working-class folk. Randy Lynne Nelson, 32, the alleged Viper leader, is a house painter; Dean Carl Pleasant, 27, another suspect, is a former doughnut maker; Henry Alfred Overturf, 37, is a bouncer for a local strip club; Ellen Adella Belliveau, 27, worked for AT&T. It was Belliveau who allegedly suggested during one meeting that the militia retaliate against the families of federal agents in case Vipers were arrested. None of the others apparently agreed with...
Five years after graduating from high school in 1970, Rick Scott had already served 29 months of active duty in the Navy, graduated from college and turned a money-losing doughnut shop into a winner. Today, at 43, he has put together the largest U.S. hospital company, Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp., which owns 341 hospitals in 38 states and posted revenues of $18 billion last year. Scott's credo is a classic: quality care doesn't have to come at a premium price. But it's the way Scott is accomplishing that goal that is transforming how American hospitals do business...
...very rich have different problems from the rest of us. For instance, STEVEN SPIELBERG is suing a doughnut mogul for financial harassment.

Hoffman sees it differently and last May told Spielberg to direct a film for him or pony up $33 million. So Spielberg sued. Hoffman, naturally, is countersuing...
...more materialistic work of Juan van der Hamen y Leon (1596-1631), whose "aristocratic" still lifes are arranged on different levels like an architectural stage, glittering with invitation. Each detail--the sheen of silver, the frosting of sugar and spice (real luxuries then) on a macaroon or a doughnut, the translucency of candied fruit--speaks of privilege...
...Christine tried again. She walked up and down Sunset Strip for four hours without getting a single offer. "I was wearing jeans, which were dirty, and I was carrying my backpack, so I guess I didn't look right," she says. Down to her last $7, she bought a doughnut for dinner and spent the night on a park bench. Unable to afford even a cheap miniskirt, she sat down in an alley and pulled out her spare blue jeans. After carefully marking off a line just below the crotch, she cut off both pant legs using the saw blade...
