...humanity to each role. In films, he often chaperoned showier stars (Anthony Quinn in Zorba the Greek; Lynn Redgrave in Georgy Girl; Bette Midler in The Rose) to Oscar nominations; he was the solid ground they danced on. The stage allowed him to dominate. He radiated silky malevolence in Harold Pinter's The Caretaker, a tonic cynicism in Simon Gray's Butley, a charming naiveté in Ivan Turgenev's Fortune's Fool.

"There's an extra level of insidiousness to it." Complaints filed last week by Spitzer and the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Gary Pilgrim and Harold Baxter with civil fraud. They are accused of allowing an outside hedge fund (in which Pilgrim held a major stake) to make rapid trades in Pilgrim Baxter funds, a practice forbidden by the company. Baxter is also accused of giving details about the firm's holdings to a friend...
