...timewhen memoir writers have become ever more extravagant in their claims (calling James Frey), you wouldn't think Liz Perle's confession that she had never balanced her checkbook would cause a ripple. But Perle, the author of Money, a Memoir, has a r??sum that commands attention in the publishing world--and among the fiscally responsible. At various points in her career, Perle has been the publisher of Prentice Hall, Addison Wesley and William Morrow/Avon. Given how high she rose in the book business, how could she be so neglectful of her personal finances...
...JOURNEYMAN LEADER In nearly 24 years of working at FedEx, Ken May has had 13 assignments. Now that he is starting as CEO of FedEx Kinko's (FedEx bought Kinko's nearly two years ago), May, 45, won't reprint his r??sum anytime soon. He plans to build 3,000 FedEx Kinko's stores over the next five years, including 1,000 overseas. Many of the new locations will be just 2,000 sq. ft., a third as big as most current outlets. That will cut costs, and the result, May hopes, will boost morale and profit margins, which...

He conned his way into a small part on The Cosby Show by inventing a r??sum. An actor has to hustle himself to get into the flow. "It's up to every performer to buy the stage," he says. "And if you've got to pay the first audience to get in there, do it. Have a buffet for 'em. And the moment they...
...also less polished than John Roberts, who addressed the committee without notes on his way to confirmation in September as Chief Justice. Yet Administration officials say they are certain that Alito will attract fewer votes?in the committee and later in the Senate?than did Roberts, whose golden r??sum and limited paper trail thwarted Democrats' putative attack plans. Party leaders say they are determined not to give Bush's new nominee as easy a time. Alito would replace Sandra Day O'Connor, whose views have often decided key issues like affirmative action, late-term abortion and death-penalty cases...
