...unwritten blacklist enhanced his marketability. But Stander, who left the U.S. in 1964, has achieved extraordinary film success in Europe. He won raves as the mordant mobster in Roman Polanski's Cul-de-Sac (1966). In Italy these days, no spaghetti western is complete without his brutal snarl.

There is a feeling in the SEC that brokerage houses in recent years have advertised for business from small investors without gearing up to handle them. The regulators question whether the small investor should subsidize such inefficiency in a fixed-price industry. The situation is bound to make small investors wonder whether the Justice Department may not be right in arguing that fixed commission rates ought to be eliminated...
