...fate of Stalin's infamous secret police chief, Lavrenty Beria. One persistent story has it that he was shot or strangled by his colleagues at a meeting of the Politburo right after Stalin's death. Setting the record straight, Svetlana repeats that General A. A. Vishnevsky, chief surgeon of the Soviet Army, told her that Beria was summarily tried in 1953, held for a few days in the basement of the General Staff building in Moscow and shot there ten minutes after being sentenced...

Bold Ones is a trilogy series, running in three-week cycles of lawyer stories, police dramas and medical shows...

Not long ago an East Coast surgeon developed a new operating-room device in his home workshop, and it sold so well that he found himself worth $14,500,000. He turned to U.S. Trust. The bankers set up an estate for him by making three real estate investments, buying a portfolio of tax-free municipal bonds and long-term growth stocks, and setting up trusts for his two children. Estate advisers even thought of future grandchildren and provided trusts for them in the doctor's will...
