...arrest, in July 1984, came just six months after Burnett's parole from a federal prison on charges of currency manipulation and possession of stolen stocks, and the con man seemed a sure bet for a return stretch. But he was no run-of-the-mill criminal. For 30 years Burnett had negotiated light sentences for fraud and other crimes by informing for the FBI. Now he again offered to trade, telling the FBI that while working for Systematic Recovery Service, a collection agency trying to secure municipal contracts in New York and Chicago, he had stumbled into widespread political...
...thin ice begins to crack underfoot as Koch goes on, without any explicit analysis, to invoke the names of Kant, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Montesquieu, and Mill.

These days, Kelly might very well consider herself one of those interesting people, because go-go dancing is not exactly a run-of-the-mill Harvard extracurricular activity.

But Adjani admirers, fear...
...variety-and-talk program with Bakker and his wife as hosts on an opulent, hacienda-style set with orchestra, singers and live audience. Bakker's receipts exceed $100 million a year. Much of the money is eaten up by his Heritage USA theme park, opened in 1978 near Fort Mill, S.C., and already the third-largest such attraction in the country, with nearly 5 million visitors a year. Unlike Walt Disney World and Disneyland, which rank ahead of it, Heritage USA charges no admission. The grandiose 2,300-acre project, which is years away from completion, includes Bakker's Assemblies...
