...nearly 4,000 shares. What has caught the attention of investigators is that on Dec. 27, Stewart was traveling with Pasternak's estranged wife Mariana, a real estate broker. While she and Stewart were on the ground in San Antonio, Texas, en route to Mexico on Stewart's private jet, Stewart phoned Bacanovic to sell her shares and then tried to reach Waksal. Investigators are trying to learn whether Mariana Pasternak had contact that day with her husband, also a friend of Waksal's. Neither of the Pasternaks returned calls...

Bethune does a few touch-and-go landings at Moses Lake to test the new jet, No. 271 in the nation's youngest fleet (average age: 5.2 years), but he gives up the pilot's seat after an air-traffic controller, not knowing who's at the controls, suggests the 767 fly a tighter...
