...backed government of Lon Nol. He survived the war although he lost his left eye, and he then fled to Vietnam to escape bitter purges by an increasingly paranoid Pol Pot. Many colleagues who fell afoul of Pol Pot were tortured to death in the infamous Tuol Sleng prison in Phnom Penh. "I lost my first child during Pol Pot's time," Hun Sen says. "One of my in-laws was killed and many of my uncles and nephews." He returned to Cambodia as part of the Vietnamese-backed government after Hanoi's 1979 invasion sent...
...confines of individual wire enclosures 10 ft. from each other. And thus Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber), Timothy McVeigh (of Oklahoma City infamy) and Ramzi Yousef (mastermind of the World Trade Center attack) get a break from solitary confinement and a chance to be neighborly at the federal maximum-security prison in Florence, Colo.--a.k.a. Supermax. The repartee isn't exactly Firing Line. "They bulls___," says Dennis Hartley, one of McVeigh's new lawyers. "Nobody's crazy enough to talk about escape...

Last fall Lauricella was sentenced to six years in prison for his consulting efforts. Waste Management and four of its executives, who claim that Lauricella was a renegade acting on his own, have pleaded not guilty to various charges, including stock fraud and wiretapping...
...Taiwan-based executive goes on trial in early April, charged with attempting to buy the secret formula for Bristol-Myers Squibb's cancer drug Taxol for $400,000--just one of many alleged plots to fleece R. and D.-rich pharmaceutical firms. Last spring a Gillette consultant went to prison for trying to market secret designs of the company's Mach3 razor to competitors such as Bic. And a small Maryland soft-drink distributor claims that Coca-Cola Enterprises, the bottler partly owned by Coke, used wiretapping and other shady tactics to destroy his business. CCE denies all the charges...
