During the past four years, Weisel has raided Wall Street for top talent, sometimes regardless of athletic ability, by luring prospects with the opportunity to own stock in his brokerage by the bay. One important catch was Alan Stein, a Goldman Sachs veteran who transformed Montgomery's investment-banking division into a big-time operation that expects to underwrite almost $1.5 billion in securities this year, up 200% from...
...ALCS, with three homers and 11 RBIs, but what did Red Sox slugger David Ortiz say first when he triumphantly entered the clubhouse after one of his homers beat the Yankees?

She was a cop too, and he solemnly leaves a doughnut on her headstone as a tribute to a police legend now on her final, eternal stakeout. There's a nice locker-room bit where, after a shower, the men grab hand towels instead of bath towels to cover their butts. And you don't want to know what happens to the pony, a Bat Mitzvah gift to a crime boss's daughter, when a fit of zeal overcomes the cops' habitual wrong-footedness...
