Mutual fund taxes. Heaping insult on injury, many investors owe 1998 tax on capital gains recorded by their mutual funds, even if those funds lost money. More than 30% of stock funds were down through November, and 11% of those--including such popular funds as Heartland Value, Lindner Dividend, Brandywine and Templeton Growth--also distributed a taxable capital gain to shareholders, says fund-research company Wiesenberger.

R.N.C. deputy finance director and close Dole adviser Jo-Anne Coe directed a $100,000 contribution to Norquist's group from banana baron Carl Lindner two weeks before the election.

Until May 13, he was represented by Charles Lindner, the Los Angeles lawyer who ghostwrote the portion of Johnnie Cochran's O.J. Simpson trial summation that evoked the Holocaust.

Lindner feels that "no matter what, innocent or not, the kid is going...
...also powerful. Earlier in the case, Kavinoky tried to beef up Markhasev's defense team, approaching prominent law firms. None were willing to help. For example, says Kavinoky, "the message came through Robert Shapiro's office that no prominent attorney in this town will take this case." Says Lindner, who sought the advice of Cochran (a friend of Bill Cosby's) and received a qualified go-ahead: "It's like defending the man who allegedly shot Santa Claus' son. Particularly if Santa Claus is sitting in court every day only a few feet away from the jury box." Lindner says...
