I wake up to the unnecessarily chipper voice of Maria Bartiromo on Squawk Box before the open of the U.S. markets. And I know the voice, role and habits of every anchor in between. Sometimes I think I’ve fooled myself into believing that these telecasters are my friends, that they care whether or not I’m watching and wonder where I’ve gone when class or practice comes between me and the cool, bluish...

He has always maintained his innocence. "I am a straight shooter," he told the Czech daily Mlada fronta Dnes last November. "I sleep well and don't think that I did anything wrong." But Jaromír Jindrich, the lead Czech prosecutor in the case, says Kozeny took advantage of the "naiveté and inexperience" of the Czech people after the fall of communism.
