The stock market plunged 47 points Wednesday -- and finished the week down 9 points -- in reaction to more bad news: the economy barely grew during the fourth quarter, inching up only 0.3%, while the index of leading economic indicators dipped 0.3% in December.

His purchase of a British investment fund, First Tokyo Index Trust, illustrates how Maxwell used financial sleight of hand and guile to finance deals. Through Headington Investments, a finance company under his control, Maxwell borrowed $100 million from Swiss Bank Corp. last summer to buy the entire First Tokyo portfolio.
