...next day, I had the ugly task of dealing with a situation gone out of hand, because I hadn't been honest with myself or with anyone else.

...funds now hold nearly $500 billion, up from $40 billion in 1984, according to Gordon Davidson, head of the Social Investment Forum in Boston. Much of this nest egg belongs to pension funds like the $53 billion California Public Employees Retirement System. Their increasingly activist stance has strengthened the hand of the many religious groups that have waged an 18-year fight with corporations, seeking to influence policy through proxy battles at shareholders' meetings.

Designed by architect Pierre Fakhoury, 45, an Ivory Coaster of Lebanese ancestry, the basilica has no paintings, statues, wooden paneling, tapestries or carvings.

Dowd offered, as a smoking gun, Rose's fingerprints on betting sheets. (Rose has claimed never to have seen the sheets before.) A handwriting analyst, formerly with the FBI, contends that they were written in Rose's hand. Meanwhile, as the two-day hearing adjourned last Friday, the Reds' manager was at an autograph show in Atlantic City, stoically selling his signature at $15 per scribble.

Rose's hearing before Giamatti was scheduled...
