...that it had placed the fugitive American financier under arrest, Vesco was little more than a cipher, a relic from an earlier generation, recalled in vague outline for his criminal odyssey around the Caribbean and for a broad range of roles -- millionaire, gambler, stock cheat, illegal campaign contributor, Watergate shadow, drug dealer, scoundrel. He was, for archaeologists of roguery, the fossil evidence that money can buy power and immunity from the reach of the law. Now, suddenly and surprisingly, he was back in the news.

...Gardening last year and has a best seller of more than 100,000-at $49.95. Already on the market is the company's 3-D Landscape cd-rom, which shows a three-dimensional rendering of plants, walkways, walls, pools, gazebos, decks, garden ornaments and sprinklers.

...unschooled grandmother who stressed education. He shed a tear and showed anger at accusations that he knew of the Tuskegee experiments that withheld treatment from black men with syphilis. The two-day performance was a remarkable comeback for a nominee consigned just weeks ago to the valley of the shadow of death. By the end of last week, Foster had enough bipartisan support to break a threatened filibuster by Phil Gramm of Texas and Bob Smith of New Hampshire...
