...time, he would have less time each month to pay. Ron Stadelman has another tale of woe. Last summer the Cary, Ill., real estate agent transferred his balance to a Household Visa card with a 10.4% rate. But within a few months, his account, among others, was purchased by Fleet Bank, which gradually hiked the rate to 26.9% and said Stadelman couldn't close the account until he paid off his entire $8,500 balance. "It's highway robbery," fumes Stadelman. "Credit-card companies used to honor their agreements." Technically, they probably still do, Mr. Stadelman, but only...
...Fiorina faces a slew of similar challenges as a company renowned for its engineering proficiency takes on fleet competitors like Dell and Sun Microsystems, which have decidedly jazzier images.

As the son of the commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet during the war, he resisted pressure from his North Vietnamese captors to go free because he feared it would demoralize the troops...
...responded to an alarm at his arcadian Greenwich, Conn., mansion last month to discover smoldering file cabinets full of incinerating and incriminating documents--item one on his to-do list: launder money--Frankel had constructed a financial whiz kid's Xanadu, complete with 80 trading terminals, satellite dishes, a fleet of imported cars and a bevy of female retainers he had attracted by answering personal ads and trolling the Internet. In his $3 million residence and the adjacent $2.6 million house, both paid for in cash, Frankel had accumulated all the trappings of a depraved mogul. But everything--the women...
