...restaurant one night, as he chats over dinner with his attorney, Stephen Neal, the legal Houdini behind his release, Keating confronts naked hostility: a complete stranger, recognizing his craggy features like a ghost from an old "wanted" poster, drops by his table to hurl an unprovoked insult. He's unperturbed. "When I was first brought into the lockup I faced a howling, screaming mob," Keating says matter-of-factly. He points out that unlike other major white-collar felons of the 1980s, who sojourned in comparatively luxurious "Club Feds," he did "hard time." On the inside, he was known...
...already labeled yourself an objectivist, acid might be the next thing you'd like to trip on. You're beyond help. But if you're one of the many who's read a work or two by Ayn Rand and is intrigued by her "philosophy," should you spot a poster for an objectivist lecture and choose to attend, please go with a critical mind and a modicum of skepticism because the "lecture" part of their advertisements is a misnomer.

For the next six hours, I get a glimpse of how. Hundreds of people are involved in creating MSN's shows, from the typographers who choose the fonts to the musicians--"the MSN orchestra!" someone jokes--who write the theme songs. Teams of market researchers measure what's working and what's not. Shows that don't make the cut will be replaced...
