...with Ron Silver, who plays him in the movie. Actor Jeffrey Wright closely observed Bingham, who was on hand to take pictures and help safeguard historical accuracy. Jamie Foxx studied tapes of Ali's late, drug-addled corner man Drew (Bundini) Brown. Jon Voight, who last summer hid himself under layers of prosthetics as Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Pearl Harbor, again endured hours each day in the makeup chair, this time disguising himself as Howard Cosell. The witty verbal sparring between Ali and Cosell provides some of the movie's most entertaining moments. "If you talk to Ali today," says...

One witness of the aftermath said the Americans shot Afghans as they hid under beds and rushed out of doorways. The Pentagon maintains that the Afghans started shooting first, but villagers say they heard no gunfire from inside the school. Two dead Afghans were found with their wrists bound.

By late afternoon, both sides were running low on ammunition. Then the soldiers guarding the back of the hospital inexplicably retreated and the rebels got away. Some hostages escaped but more were taken in their place...
...damage to its bottom line and its reputation, traders everywhere were coming under closer scrutiny from nervous supervisors. Most worrying for banks and their regulators is that Rusnak may have used the exact same method as Leeson: when he began to pile up losses in currency trades, he allegedly hid these by fabricating other deals that, on paper, showed him making profits. Leeson was able to conceal his activities for two years because, like many traders at the time, he was authorized both to make and to settle his deals. In the aftermath of the Barings debacle, banks separated...
