...strange, thought Alice, how little nationality or civil status mattered in a heatwave." Remarks like that, the hallmark of Francoise Sagan's simple, wayward charm, occur often enough to make this slight tale worth a couple of summer hours. Maybe it should be read at night, out of doors with a flashlight, because it is essentially hocus-pocus about oversexed Resistance workers in the early days of the German Occupation. Alice and Jerome, both bright, attractive and world weary, have a glum affair going. Seeking a hideout for their efforts to help Jews, they descend on his friend Charles...

Along the way, it attracted such blue-chip investors in its projects as Arthur Levitt, the chairman of the American Stock Exchange, and the Hall family of Hallmark greeting-card fame. But in the past few months, Kroh has virtually collapsed. Beset by lawsuits and shunned by wary lenders, the company is now struggling to reorganize under Chapter 11 provisions of the bankruptcy law. The brothers who ran the firm for 18 years -- John Kroh Jr., 46, and George Kroh...
