...publishing lag time. "There seems to be two approaches: do it quickly or wait and take the longer-term view," says Will Weisser, associate publisher of Portfolio, a Penguin imprint, who says most of their business authors are being asked to expedite books already under way. One is Eric Janszen, whose The Post Catastrophe Economy, a historical account of the economy and where it is headed, was supposed to be published in August 2009. With the crisis deepening, Portfolio asked Janszen to hurry up; the book is now set to come out early next year. Robert Kiyosaki, author...
Under orders from the Ohio Supreme Court, Nadel reluctantly made public the 225-page investigative report to Giamatti prepared by John Dowd, a former U.S. Justice Department attorney. Dowd's case is somewhat weakened because it depends heavily on the testimony of Ron Peters and Paul Janszen, two convicted felons. But Dowd insisted that their stories were corroborated by other witnesses, by tape recordings, by records of Rose's telephone calls and, most important, by betting sheets that a retired FBI expert judged to be in Rose's handwriting. Rose said he could not identify them...
...Karen Janszen, 34, had never flown in a small aircraft. She was therefore apprehensive last May 17 as she boarded the eight-seat Hawker Siddeley jet of AMF, the sports-equipment and industrial-technology manufacturer, for a trip from Houston to Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y. Two years ago, Janszen underwent surgery in Methodist Hospital to remove a malignant brain tumor, and she was returning from Houston after chemotherapy treatments. AMF Chairman W. Thomas York, who was in Houston for business meetings, was giving her a free lift on the company plane. The in-flight accommodations delighted Janszen...
...Janszen and AMF got together with the help of the Corporate Angel Network (CAN). Based in White Plains, CAN provides free rides on corporate aircraft for cancer patients, either singly or in groups, to and from hospitals across the U.S. CAN uses a computer to match lists of all the flights that corporations will be making with the departure and destination cities requested by patients. A nonprofit organization begun in 1981, CAN in its first year flew 24 patients; it now arranges that many trips each month. So far, CAN has flown 259 sick people, many of them accompanied...
Other patients share Janszen's enthusiasm for CAN. A. Donald Hodges, 52, pastor of the United Methodist Church in Westport, Conn., in recent years has undergone surgery twice for cancer. Thanks to the Corporate Angels, on both occasions he was able to deliver his Sunday-morning sermon and still arrive at Leigh Memorial Hospital in Norfolk by Monday morning. Says Hodges: "I'm impressed by the fact that someone cares and is offering a helping hand." Concurs Harry Kass of Brooklyn, 23, who last April flew on an AT&T company plane from San Francisco to Morristown...
