No sooner did the markets reopen Monday than traders lopped another 157.11 points from the Dow, for the sixth-largest drop in stock market history and the heaviest two-day loss since the Crash of 87.

Prosecutors trying to reopen his case will have a tough time. Many of the witnesses, including key subordinates from Lincoln and its parent, American Continental Corp., are far from eager to repeat their performance now that their own cases have been settled. So it seems that Keating may have beaten the rap. True, he has served more time than nearly all the major white-collar criminals of the '80s, including notorious junk-bond king Michael Milken, with whom he did hundreds of millions of dollars in deals...
