...release of her letters by Gayla Zigo: The story isn't complete. The reason why I accepted the resignation rather than go to court-martial was that it would save myself, my family and the Air Force and everyone that is involved in this case, including Airman Zigo, the embarrassment. It's just not necessary for everybody to be out there reading these lurid details about my private thoughts or some of the things I know went on in other relationships. I am the one who lived it, and deep down in my heart I know what's true...
...that been the last of it, the affair might have ended like most adultery cases, privately, discreetly, without official sanction. Of the 67 Air Force court-martial cases in 1996 that involved adultery, only one did not include other counts, like sexual assault or disobeying orders.

In granting a general discharge, the secretary said she acted to "protect the Air Force core values," adding that Flinn will be required to pay back the cost of her Air Force Academy education. "I don't look...
Still, the threat has sharpened Ellison and hardened Oracle's martial culture even further. In the past six months the firm has stood down a Kamikaze charge from its main challenger in the database business, Informix. The Menlo Park, Calif., company blindsided Oracle with a series of hip-sounding, well-marketed database programs it claimed were faster and better at scrounging through terrabytes of data--the grunt work where databases make their fortunes. Oracle stock took a quick dip, but Ellison's slash-and-burn sales force and espresso-fueled programmers quickly unplugged the challenge. "Informix did tons of things...
