...scandal. Kendall, Starr and Lewinsky's lawyers gathered for the first time in one room for a hearing so private the court clerk would not confirm it happened. The issue at hand was Starr's appeal of a sealed order last month by the lower-court judge Norma Holloway Johnson, who not only admonished Starr for his team's alleged leaks but also ordered him to turn over records of its contacts with the media. The President's lawyer, who had lodged the almost forgotten complaint about leaks last February, had obviously hit pay dirt with Johnson. His motion...
...America's Journey through Slavery, is PATRICIA SMITH, the Boston Globe columnist who was asked to resign in June after she was found to have fabricated four columns. Harcourt executive editor Jane Isay says the firm still plans to publish the book, which was co-authored with novelist Charles Johnson and is the companion to a PBS series. "She is a wonderful writer. Her prose is riveting," says Isay, who nonetheless concedes that Harcourt Brace was forced to recheck the whole book after the scandal broke. "It's been vetted and vetted," she says. "The footnotes were double-checked...
...Tiffany Field, a Miami child psychologist who founded the Touch Research Institute six years ago with a $250,000 grant from Johnson & Johnson, says massage stimulates the vagus nerves, which then trigger processes that aid digestion, among other things. As a result of their speedy weight gain, Field says, massaged preemies are discharged to their parents an average of six days earlier, shaving $10,000 off their hospital tab.

...weren't alone. Cendant, the result of last year's merger of HFS, a franchise company whose brands included Howard Johnson and Avis, and CUC, a kind of discount-shopping club, dazzled many a portfolio manager. After downplaying its accounting "irregularities" last April, the company last week revealed that the CUC side of the business had actually fabricated nearly $300 million in revenues over three years. The stock, which had rebounded to $25, quickly retreated to the high teens. It has since gone lower. And why shouldn't it? Most of the "earnings" that had jacked up the stock were...
...millennium. A number of world figures were asked how things would be different in the year 2000. Israeli Prime Minister DAVID BEN-GURION predicted that the Soviet Union would be transformed into a "free and democratic" country and that there would be peace between Arabs and Israelis. Lyndon Johnson, then a Senator, saw the end of racial segregation in America. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT foresaw a Jewish President. Today, because the union is moving offices, it wants to dig out the relic and open it. Trouble is, the union can't find it, and the only record the group...
