...like watching your mother getting ravaged by New York thugs," said Greg Kieselmann, co-manager of institutional research at Morgan, Olmstead, Kennedy & Gardner, a Los Angeles brokerage firm. That rather vivid imagery was typical of the investment world's reaction last week after Financier Saul P. Steinberg zapped Walt Disney Productions with a market ploy that made him $32 million richer but may have left Disney much weaker. Steinberg, 44, had just pulled off the latest example of a spreading tactic called greenmail, Wall Street's version of blackmail...

Johnson responded to the allegations in an appearance before the Cambridge City Council...
Anew book by Saul Bellow is an important event, and not only because he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976. That award merely confirmed what thousands of readers had decided years earlier: Bellow's fiction offers a look at life that is not only essential but is unique among his contemporaries. Bellow has been the most rigorous naysayer to nihilism of his era. He has never tried to hide the gloomy truths about modern life or gloss over all the sound reasons (starting or ending with Auschwitz) for a thinking person to despair.
