...Causey bring down Skilling and Lay? Their lawyers have always maintained that Lay and Skilling knew nothing about Fastow's schemes. If the chief accounting officer says Skilling or Lay knew, says David Berg, a financial-crime trial lawyer in Houston, "it would be a fatal cancer for the defense." But since Causey had been on the defense's side, those lawyers could ask that his testimony be disallowed, arguing that he knows too much about their strategy. Failing that, they will try to tarnish him with praise. Causey is an honest man, they say, who admitted to a crime...
...what to do first and never enough money to do it. In Muslim parts of Ethiopia, aid workers can't talk to teenage girls about condoms to prevent AIDS; but in Tanzania they're encouraged to. How you cut an umbilical cord can determine whether a baby risks a fatal infection, but every culture has its own traditions. They cut with a coin for luck in Nepal and a stone in Bolivia, where they think if you use a razor blade the child will grow up to be a thief. There is no one solution to fit all countries...

...consumed per American. Binge drinking, defined as putting away the equivalent of a whole bottle of wine in a night, is practiced at least once a week by 36% of British men ages 16 to 24 and by 27% of women. It leaves a trail of social debris--crime, fatal accidents, unsafe sex, date rapes, even an uptick in liver disease among those in their 20s. In places like Croydon, where the economy gets a big boost from vertical-drinking palaces that can compete for customers as far as 50 miles away, city centers have become weekend no-go zones...
