...Drexel, after all, was more than just a tough competitor; it was viewed as a bad influence. Last year the company agreed to pay a $650 million fine and pleaded guilty to six counts of mail and securities fraud. As part of the settlement, federal prosecutors required Drexel to dump Milken, who now faces a 98-count fraud and racketeering indictment. "The era of extravagance and insanity has come to an end," says economist Pierre Rinfret, who runs a Wall Street consulting firm. "This is a breath of fresh air. Drexel got what it deserved. These guys could destroy...
...bold move that David Park, a young instructor at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco, made one day in 1949. He gathered up all his abstract-expressionist canvases and, in an act that has gone down in local legend, drove to the Berkeley city dump and destroyed them. Park had become disenchanted with abstract expressionism's strict, non-representational regimen. He wanted, as he put it, to stop producing "paintings" and start painting "pictures."

Other places where drug dealers can often dump their cash include the currency exchange houses along the Southwest border and urban check- cashing and money-transmittal stores...
...formidable contrarian is Bruce Ames, a biochemist at the University of California, Berkeley. He contends that obsessive concern with cancer-causing chemicals in foods, pesticides and toxic wastes has produced a regulatory tangle at EPA and a superfluous Superfund to clean dump sites. Government restrictions on man-made chemicals are absurdly stringent in proportion to ; their risk, says Ames. He notes that while the public panicked last spring because of trace amounts of the synthetic growth regulator Alar found on apples, many fruits contain natural carcinogens in concentrations 1,000 times as great. Observes Ames: "Eating vegetables and lowering...
