...Cramer’s former life. Cramer’s cubicle at the TheStreet.com office on Wall Street is right next to the desks of his research team, comprised of young men in their twenties and early thirties. The guys have small basketball hoops at their desks and toss Nerf balls at one another as they write up columns about the best stock picks for the day. Cramer comes over and picks their brains for stock ideas and information. He gives a few high fives, and then he’s off to Englewood Cliffs, N.J. to film...

Many Congressional Republicans are unhappy with the temporary...
...cold. As they raced back to the two helicopters, German snipers on the roof of a nearby building opened fire. The Palestinians shot out the lights on the tarmac, and the Germans were paralyzed for nearly an hour, until four armored police vehicles arrived. That prompted a terrorist to toss a grenade into one helicopter, and another to shoot the hostages in the other helicopter. Three Black September operatives survived; Germany freed them nearly two months later for the release of passengers on a hijacked Lufthansa...
