...Lyons has shown a Clintonesque resilience in the past, rising above scandal on the strength of charisma and successful leadership. But some of his colleagues now complain that the scandal has dried up contributions to the church and that Lyons has to go -- whether or not the feds lock him up. "To drag millions of people through all this mud is a shame," said the Rev. Charles Kenyotta Tuesday. "In the 118 years of our existence, we've never had a president this dumb." Joe Lieberman would say amen to that...
Here's some bad news for anyone sitting on a stock that got hammered as the market fell this summer: your bright little idea may get pounded even more this fall as fellow shareholders sell to lock in tax advantages by year's end. Tough out there, huh? By acting now, though, you can turn the expected "tax-loss selling" into an opportunity. There are some extra risks and costs, but they don't amount to much if you have losers that you expect to sell anyway. The basic strategy is to dump your dogs now, so that when...
This isn't the dicey game of timing it may seem. For example, you can guard against missing a quick recovery by buying another depressed stock in the same industry.

In a field of 10 candidates and as few as 100,000 people expected to cast ballots, 11,000 votes could conceivably be enough...
...threw the grenade at Bwaku, the guard ducked, then heard a sharp explosion behind him. He fled around the side of the embassy, shouting into his walkie-talkie: "Base! Base! Terrorism! Terrorism!" But nobody heard him on the busy channel. Back at the gates, guard Joash Okindo managed to lock the heavy steel doors over the ramp to the embassy garage as the attacker hurled another grenade in his direction. Nanoseconds later, Bwaku heard the ferocious explosion of a bomb that knocked him off his feet but left him miraculously alive. Later, Bwaku's American boss at United International confirmed...
