Ever wanted to know what a death sentence feels like? You can get a pretty good idea over at the Seattle Post Intelligencer. On Jan. 9, Steve Swartz, an executive from Hearst, announced in the newsroom that the company was putting the money-losing newspaper, known locally as the P-I, up for sale for 60 days...
...Dennis Kozlowski’s $6,000 shower curtain. These sentences—ranging from 8 1/3 to 25 years of incarceration—were considered forceful messages to other executives tempted to skim off their company’s bottom line. Yet Kozlowski and CFO Mark H.

Republican Presidential candidate John McCain’s health care plan would likely have little impact on the number of uninsured Americans, according to a study co-authored by Harvard School of Public Health professor Katherine Swartz.

The icons of massive, turn-of-the-century corporate fraud--Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling of Enron, Bernie Ebbers of WorldCom, Dennis Kozlowski and Mark Swartz of Tyco--are convicted and, in Lay's case, dead. Even Martha Stewart has served time. And many, if not most, of the cases the feds brought against smaller fish--to help assuage a share-owning public that had been scammed by phony accounting and overhyped stock--are resolved...
