...means the company is in bankruptcy, and even the pros say figuring out details of who gets what, and when, is difficult. "The information flow can be very sketchy. Management is in turmoil. It's a very imperfect market," says Jonathan Rosenthal, a partner at Saybrook Capital, a Santa Monica, Calif., investment bank that focuses on restructuring bankrupt companies...
...Hardenne a city-hall welcome in Brussels. This was the slightly built 21-year-old's fourth tournament win of the year; Clijsters, 20, has won three. Henin-Hardenne began plotting a French Open conquest in 1992, when her mother took her to the Roland Garros stadium to see Monica Seles defeat Steffi Graf for the title. She told her mother, "One day I'll be on that court, and maybe I'll win." The dream became reality, but without her mother, who died of cancer in 1995. This week at Wimbledon she begins a campaign to better her performance...
...does not tell all. The quality of her humanity is glimpsed fleetingly, often by inference. The vivid moments in the book--like the now famous scene when Bill tells her the truth about Monica--are packaged like fragile crystal, surrounded by rhetorical Styrofoam.

(By the time the President told her about Monica, he had already admitted in a deposition to having had a sexual relationship with Gennifer Flowers, but Mrs. Clinton doesn't mention that.) One imagines the serial infidelities are too painful, too embarrassing. One imagines she doesn't want to expose...
Some spam victims aren't waiting for the state laws to kick in. They have become spam vigilantes. Marketer Dan Balsam in Santa Monica, Calif., has waged a one-man legal campaign against spammers who refuse to remove him from their mailing lists. No judgment has netted him more than $1,000, but Balsam isn't in it for the money. "I'm trying to raise the cost of spammers doing business," he says. Los Angeles software engineer Bill Silverstein has taken an even more creative approach. When he wanted to sue a company that refused to stop sending...
