...penalties from Jon and Robin. (The amount would eventually drop to $36,787, atheist lawyers have said.) And there was the payback for Madalyn's tendency to litigate. In September 1987, she sued for control of a California atheist organization called Truth Seeker. (The bid failed.) Truth Seeker's furious owner countersued American Atheists under a federal racketeering law. The dispute eventually ate up more than $500,000 in legal fees; at one point Madalyn was so sure of losing that she told an employee not to be surprised if he came to work one morning and found the building...
CHRISTOPHER JOHN FARLEY, our pop-music critic, knows the angst of passing judgment on artists like his subject this week, singer Erykah Badu. So he was much relieved when his own debut novel, My Favorite War, won favorable reviews last year.

Together with Paul Allen, they formed the official-sounding Lakeside Programmers Group and got a job writing a payroll system for a local firm. A furious argument, the first of many, ensued when Allen tried to take over the work himself. But he soon realized he needed the tireless Gates back to do the coding. "O.K., but I'm in charge," Gates told him, "and I'll get used to being in charge, and it'll be hard...
...thesis of Goldhagen's book--that ordinary Germans, and not just Nazis, were responsible for the Holocaust--has sparked a furious debate in Germany and around the world since it was published last March. The work has spent seven weeks as the best-selling book in Germany, and has topped sales charts in Austria, Switzerland and Belgium as well...
