...whose company just announced a record €1.4 billion third-quarter net loss, John Mack, incoming co-CEO of the Credit Suisse Group, sounds mighty confident. Despite the red ink, the affable American, whose manner belies his nickname of "Mack the Knife," is buoyant. "I'm an optimist," he told Time. Given Credit Suisse's recent track record, Mack could be accused of wishful thinking.

In the third quarter Winterthur, Credit Suisse's insurance arm, punched...

Last week Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest and considered its strongest, posted a surprise third-quarter, pre-tax loss of [EURO] 181 million, down from a [EURO]363 million profit for the same period in 2001.

The latest suspected shooting site was in Ashland...
Your 401(k) plan isn't the only retirement asset spilling red ink on your golden years. Professionally managed pension plans have been taking a beating too, raising issues not just for pensioners but also for stockholders of companies that offer such plans. Collectively, pension funds hold nearly $5 trillion, which secures steady income for millions of current and future retirees. Even though many employers have shifted to such "defined contribution" plans as the 401(k), 7 in 10 of the big S&P 500 companies still provide a "defined benefit" plan guaranteeing employees a monthly check after retiring...
Curator Wecsler showed some of her own works, the result of a trip funded by the Harvard College Research Program (HCRP) over the summer. Her small and vivid colored-pencil and ink drawings will become part of her senior thesis in East Asian Studies and VES on urbanization in Shanghai and Hong Kong. While their small size limited their ability to represent the vitality of the cityscape, the drawings will be more effective when accompanied by animation and an essay in their final form...
