There is certainly much to question in Saranow's handling of tax cases that the IRS brought against two rivals of Guess. In 1985 Saranow, acting on a tip from Guess, launched a criminal probe of Jeff Hamilton, Inc., a Los Angeles- based company that once made clothes under a license from Guess. A year later Saranow, again relying on information supplied by Guess, got IRS officials in New York City to begin a criminal case against Jordache. At the time, Jordache's founders, the Nakash brothers, were embroiled in a bitter dispute with the Marciano brothers, who founded Guess...
...late 1986, after the IRS dropped a tax case against Guess that had been initiated by Jordache, top agency officials began to investigate Saranow's possible role.

The newsletter gurus see themselves as disabusers of Wall Street myth, as missionaries of economic truth. Since readers can lose big money if their guru is wrong, the work is fraught with the peril of being hanged, though only in effigy...
...these and other sights of Harlem, the anxious white visitor can hop a Harlem Spirituals bus at 9 some Wednesday morning. As the bus heads uptown, a guide sketches a history of the district. A walk through Hamilton Grange and Sugar Hill precedes a stop at the Schomburg Center. And then . . . nirvana. At the Manhattan Christian Reformed Church, a storefront mission run by and for recovering addicts, the Rev. Reggie Williams spins a stirring homily: "You have the power to pray when you wanna party! The power to close your veins to dope and open your brains to hope...
