...snowballed down Wall Street in the past two decades--and by the way, don't expect a moral to this tale. In the 1980s Gillett was busy building a billion-dollar empire based on the odd combination of meatpacking and television stations, much of it financed by the junk bonds of Drexel Burnham Lambert, led by the now infamous Michael Milken. Drexel pumped out high-risk securities the way snowmaking machines create instant winter. Gillett, a Wisconsin boy, loved to ski, and he loved to ski at Vail, a powdery paradise in the Colorado Rockies. So he bought the joint...
Spam--unsolicited junk E-mail--is perhaps the most irritating feature of online life. Its purveyors use powerful software to "harvest" screen names and then ship out bulk electronic mail bearing sales pitches or get-rich-quick schemes. But erotic spam is more than just irritating.

They also edit configuration files, such as CONFIG.SYS and SYSTEM.INI, and remove junk left behind by old programs...
...unusual idea. "These men basically adopted us," Greer says. With profits from the pay phone attached to the firehouse, which had heavy use from local drug dealers, the firemen bought radios to give away each month to children who earned especially good grades. They persuaded police officers and junk dealers to begin dropping off broken bike frames. A local bicycle repairman donated old tires and rims, and a fireman named Kirkland Flowers, whom the children eventually tagged with the nickname "the mayor of Robert Taylor," started building bikes during his spare hours...
