...where Stewart is facing criminal charges for obstruction of justice and securities fraud. Faneuil is the former assistant to Peter Bacanovic, Stewart's broker at Merrill Lynch and her co-defendant in the trial. For three days Faneuil electrified the jury with his tales of Stewart's abrasive telephone manner and his boss's frantic efforts to cover up a potentially illegal stock transaction. His performance was so riveting that at one stage the defense asked if he had taken acting lessons...

Many students do not even realize that the bureau is a resource for mental issues, and when they do, students are often confused by the decentralized manner of care.

At 30, she was the oldest woman on the track--and the fastest...
...left New York and wandered the country, consulting for different restaurants before visiting Napa in 1992, where he came across the French Laundry. He pulled together a group of investors and opened in 1994. Keller thrived in the bucolic calm of the wine country. His manner mellowed, and he got his infamous temper under control. Keller's father was a Marine drill instructor. "He used to tear people apart and then build them up again. I used to be like that. But now if I shout at someone, I get embarrassed." He moved into the house behind the Laundry with...
