Says political consultant Joseph Cerell, a Democrat: "Wilson pulled off the biggest upset of the '94 election because Kathleen Brown was considered a slam-dunk winner, and that comeback-of-the-year award has raised him to presidential status...

Last week Singapore police seized stationery with faked company letterheads and a dummy bank ticket that said $80 million had been deposited into a Barings futures account at Citibank. No such transfer took place, and prosecutors are likely to argue that it gave Leeson a way of proving he was making the huge Nikkei trades on behalf of a client.
