"But compared to narcotics cases, for example, there is usually a lot more evidence." Predicts Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Robinson, whose San Francisco office has launched major investigations: "When the arrests and indictments come, they...
With seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, Holy Cross had a first down on the Harvard six-yd. line, but the Crimson defense held fast.

Indeed, during the past decade, two-thirds of all new jobs in the U.S. were created by businesses with fewer than 100 workers. Some of the most creative and innovative firms in America today, companies such as Apple Computer, Genentech and New York Air, are small, new corporations...
