...another nail-biting week for the number crunchers at Ernst & Young. America's biggest accounting firm tentatively agreed to pay some $40 million to the Federal Government for faulty work done by a predecessor firm, Arthur Young & Co., on behalf of Charles Keating's failed Lincoln Savings. The settlement could be a bargain: it should keep Ernst from being named in a $2 billion government fraud-and-racketeering suit stemming from Lincoln's collapse...

These are only warm-ups for what the M.B.A. monster does to women with nail gun, power drill, chain saw and, in a scene that should cause the loudest uproar, a hungry rodent. Those who are interested in the gobbets can exercise their rights as free American consumers early next year -- that is if they are still interested after reading one of the tamer examples...
