...become embroiled in what the sec claims is "one of the largest and most brazen corporate financial frauds in history"? Prosecutors allege that over the past decade Parmalat created an elaborate house of cards, including opaque subsidiaries in tax havens such as the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg, to hide the true state of its finances. Tanzi has admitted siphoning off around €500 million from the company to finance other family businesses, but insists that some of his underlings are to blame - they were the ones who devised the accounting fraud, he has told prosecutors, although he accepts ultimate responsibility...
...weekends Catherine takes care of Brashawn, Marquette's 6-year-old daughter by an ex-girlfriend. Catherine and her granddaughter wrestle and play hide-and-seek, watch videos and go shopping. It's all very normal, says Catherine, except for the part where they e-mail Marquette to tell him to stay safe. There's an awkward silence, then she starts thumbing through the album again.

Deserts are easy places to hide, especially if you have friends and loyalists who will shelter you - and a ready supply of cash (Saddam was found with $750,000 in $100 bills) to buy their silence. Using the highest-technology then available and an army tens of thousands strong, the U.S. military under Gen. "Black Jack" Pershing was never able to capture the Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa in the arroyos and badlands of Sonora after he laid waste Columbus, New Mexico in 1916. (Prosaically, Villa...
...says Zakrzewski’s mentor, Robinson Professor of Music Robert D. Levin ’68. “That’s something she take to naturally and always has.” Zakrzewski, a joint music and government concentrator, makes little effort to hide her appreciation for some of the fringe benefits of being a concert pianist. “I love pretty things,” she says, sitting cross-legged on her furry leopard print-covered bed. “I love getting dressed up. I get to buy gowns for concerts. It?...
