...some enervating procedural wrangles lead to a compromise cut of $100,000, which really means property values and profligate pedagogy pretty much as usual in Weston. "It's a drop in the bucket," says Board of Finance Member Karl Nelson. "The board of ed can cover that cut just out of its contingency funds, and nothing will change." Nor will it, apparently, until the townspeople either run out of tax money or decide to take a long, hard look at their school system...

Terms: 1.3 American Express shares for each of Shearson's 16.3 million outstanding shares, an exchange worth $915 million at the time of the deal. Even Karl Maiden, the stone-faced star of American Express ads, should have broken into a smile. The American Express-Shearson marriage was part of a rapidly accelerating revolution in the U.S. financial world. Banks like New York's Citibank and brokerage firms like Merrill Lynch are now attempting to become...
