The petite former attorney for Kennametal Inc., a Pennsylvania machine-tool maker, says she has been harassed, followed and even run off the road since she accused the company of illegally shipping metal-working equipment with military uses to Iraq.

Thanks to his special brand of financial alchemy, he appears to have discovered a modern-day philosophers' stone, not for turning base metal to gold but for turning risk into reward. The original Quantum Fund has spawned several others, and Soros now manages $9 billion -- enough to move markets and make central bankers quake...
