...consumer attorney for the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG): "Because it's $1 here, $1.50 there, a lot of people may be shocked to see what they spend. They don't think it's going to cost that much." Consumer Reports estimates a payroll-card holder may fork over $164 a year in fees, but that is still less than the $324 the NYPIRG calculates for check cashing...
Crouching in front of our booth and leaning his arms on the edge of the table, John, our server extraordinaire, educates us on the art of eating seafood.

...Phong Nha, we get stuck at a roadblock. The local People's Committee chairman-who, it must be said, has only a few strands of hair, slicked down over his head-refuses to grant us permission to travel the western fork of the highway, even though construction is nearly finished.

Tired of paying a bill to pay your bills online? Many Bank One customers now don't have to. Starting this month, most customers will no longer fork over the $4.95 monthly fee the bank charges for online bill payment. Bank One is just the latest to drop the fee.

Citibank, National City and Fifth Third Bank are among others that don't charge. --By Barbara Kiviat
