...nasty headlines. Spitzer's investigation of Merrill Lynch was sure to spread, yet bankers inside Citi say the prevailing view there as recently as late August was that the main issue was people's losses in the market and that these problems would pass when the market rebounded.

...about listeria is that unlike most food-borne pathogens, it can multiply in the refrigerator. Pasteurization and cooking will kill the listeria bacterium, but contamination often occurs later in processing. So you might bring home some ready-to-eat deli meats, hot dogs or soft cheeses that have a trace of listeria contamination on them, put them in the fridge and a week or so later, while they still look fresh, find yourself eating a listeria-packed meal. Not that you would know right away. The symptoms of listeriosis can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks...
