...think you really have to be passionate about it, you have to love it," Kelly says about her book business. "I love to read, I love books. When our TV broke in 1956, my father didn't have it repaired for three years. He worked in a paper recycling mill so he brought old books home. That was one way we kept a lot of them around...
Most inmates of the state penitentiary in Parchman, Miss., are run-of-the- mill, old-style cons. But a few may have switched to high-tech crime, diverting prison products for profit. When a trailerload of cotton rolled out of the pen, its weight seemed in good order on the institution's computer records. Yet two weeks ago it was discovered that when the cotton arrived at a nearby gin, it was light by more than 90,000 lbs. The missing cotton, worth $20,000, seems to have been shipped elsewhere...
...from the moment the Bush campaign received Cohen's letter, they suspected that this was more than a run-of-the mill interview. Multiple copies of the letter circulated to the campaign's wise men.

In Maryland, the density and grace of America's true culture slides into...
Kerry's subcommittee is also looking into a $375,000 loan that Hull and a handful of partners received in 1983 from the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corp., purportedly to revamp a sawmill. The owner of the mill, Rancher William Crone, testified that almost none of the $375,000 was used for its designated purpose. Embarrassed opic officials conceded that collateral for the loan was valueless and said they had asked the Justice Department for a fraud investigation. Senate probers suspect the money was used to finance some of the covert operations that North described during the Iran-contra hearings...
