George Zimmer bounces briskly into the conference hall of a swank California resort tucked among wooded hills with a view of Monterey Bay. The stage is decorated with headless mannequins dressed in suits and sports shirts. There's a clothes dryer, with which an executive has just demonstrated the wrinkle-free quality of a new line of shirts. But the main act is Zimmer, founder and CEO of the Men's Wearhouse, also known as the bearded pitchman with the cornball delivery who ends every commercial for his stores with his signature line, "I guarantee it!," pronounced like a carnival...
...between brunch with Puffy, dinner with the Donald and beseeching Lehman Bros. to create a $50 million mezzanine fund, he pauses to reflect on his role as comeback kid. Last June, six months after Planet Hollywood International emerged from Chapter 11: Part 2, Earl scooped up the ailing Aladdin Resort & Casino for $635 million--half what it cost to build the three-year-old complex--using money from Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, which will own 15%, and Bay Harbour Management, a vulture fund that will split the rest with Earl.

In another high profile rape case in 1991, William Kennedy Smith, a nephew of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, was charged with raping Patricia Bowman at the Kennedy estate in Florida. His defense team hired private investigators to look into Bowman’s background...
...blandness of the oligarchy-supported frontrunner, agriculture baron Oscar Berger, whose proposals include using Guatemala's Nobel Peace laureate, Maya Indian Rigoberta Menchú, to promote tourism. Still, if Ríos Montt loses, he also loses immunity from prosecution, which has raised fears that he might resort to desperation tactics to win. Ríos Montt dismisses these. The genocide case "is just a partisan political complaint with no proof," he says. "If the courts prosecuting cases like Kosovo find real evidence against me, I'll go before them, anywhere." Meanwhile, he'll keep stumping on the same earth...
