...posted a profit--and in September announced it would miss third-quarter sales and profit forecasts. Enter Lepore, 50, as new chairwoman and CEO. Lepore knows plenty about the Web's peril and potential: she was chief information officer and then vice chairwoman of online broker Charles Schwab, which flew high in the 1990s but suffered when the stock market sank. She is predictably optimistic about her new company, which has seen sales grow from $110 million in 2000 to an estimated $300 million this year. "There are many trends working in our favor," Lepore says, including "an aging population...
...Merrill Lynch's food industry analyst in London, became the first big bank analyst to issue a "sell" recommendation on Parmalat stock; she found the accounts incomprehensible. Despite such misgivings, however, business continued as usual. Six months before the collapse, Kenneth Lewis, the chief executive of Bank of America, flew to Parma to pay a call on Tanzi. Ferraris recalls that the June 2003 meeting with Lewis was cordial. If the American had any concerns, he didn't raise them. "It was a marketing call," Ferraris recalls.

But he wasn't relying entirely on voodoo. He spent the afternoon doing satellite...
Those close to McCain say that at bottom he doesn't believe Kerry has the strength to face the tough business of war. McCain's views about Bush have been formed up close. After both visited families of dead and wounded soldiers at Fort Lewis in Washington State, they flew in silence on Marine One. The grief had been deep, and some of the relatives had had an edge in their voice as they talked to the President about the conflict that had taken their loved ones. As the helicopter climbed, McCain could see that the encounter had battered Bush...
...which the dialogue is improvised from an outline, Sykes tries out a different job every episode, apparently unhappy with the 50 she already holds. And since Sykes is extremely curious about what society deems unacceptable and in particular how to use those things to get herself more attention, she flew to the Chicken Ranch, the legal brothel in Pahrump, Nev., that was the basis for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (whorehouses, unsurprisingly, sometimes have to flee the state). In the episode, which aired last week, Sykes was trained by Diamond, a young hooker with a heart of gold. Probably...
