...Between the March visit this one, I met with the presidents of about 10 Chinese universities," he said, referring to a Spring Break trip he took to the region. "We discuss what kind of exchange programs we might have at all levels: students, faculty, Masters of Business Administration programs [and more...
...Dunlap, 60, recent events at Sunbeam are a true Armageddon. He remains undeniably rich. But he has lost more than $200 million on paper with his stock and stock options since Sunbeam shares began to slide last March, and his once vaunted reputation as a turnaround phenomenon is in tatters. That reputation is what landed him lucrative assignments, including previous stints as CEO at Scott Paper and Crown-Zellerbach, plus a high profile that he reveled in. It also put his book, Mean Business, on the best-seller list in 1996. That tome became a bible for those who followed...
...most accounts, Levin is the person for the job. He fixed cosmetics company Revlon in the early 1990s, and most recently was doing the same for outdoor-equipment company Coleman--both efforts on behalf of controlling shareholder Ronald Perelman.

The Coleman folks had to sell, or lose, their stock options. But by moving so quickly, they bolstered the view that Dunlap had grossly overpaid. Indeed, nine Coleman insiders, including Levin, cashed out 581,000 shares, according to CDA Investnet--near...
...wrapped around a .38-cal. revolver connected with the murder. Ballistic tests suggest that the bullet that killed Cosby came from that gun, and DNA testing links the hair to MIKAIL MARKHASEV. One problem: when the L.A.P.D.'s lab technicians inspected the cap after it was found in March 1997, they found only "shed" hairs without roots; reliable DNA testing requires the root. Nine months later, after it became clear that the case would depend heavily on witnesses with criminal pasts or shaky memories and that physical evidence linking Markhasev to the murder weapon was sorely needed...
