...Instead, my relatives, my very own civilized, educated, well-traveled relatives, began hedging. "A small number were certainly murdered, but the rest probably died of war-times diseases," said one, a urologist.

...pocketed consumers like Mike Engel of Bend, Ore. When he decided to fix up his three-car garage, he characterized it as a "dumping ground and completely dysfunctional." So extreme was the clutter that of his three vehicles, he could fit only the Porsche inside.

Some business owners are growing profits by manufacturing and distributing those products themselves. Often, however, the only way consumers can get those products is by hiring the companies...
...acting “like a spoiled child.” Star Jones had a blowout with Barbara Walters after her contract was not renewed on “The View.” Citing Tom Cruise’s odd behavior off the screen, Paramount Pictures owner Sumner Redstone ended the studio’s 14-year relationship with the star. He might not be a celebrity per se, but John Mark Karr certainly made headlines after his shocking confession to accidentally killing Jon Benet Ramsey ten years ago. Apprehended in Bangkok in August, flown first class to Colorado...
