...case that broke open last week was only the first chapter in an extensive clampdown on drug dealing in the financial community. Authorities initially picked up the trail in Brooklyn, where they took notice of a mink- coated brunet named Theresa Masi. A known consort of drug dealers with Mafia connections, Masi made regular rounds of Wall Street executive suites. Authorities learned that Masi was delivering cocaine weekly to five top-level * managers. Under a law-enforcement policy to charge dealers only, those users were never prosecuted, but their descriptions of drug consumption on Wall Street inspired the U.S. Drug...
Usually JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE fends off shutterbugs who trail him and his photogenic girlfriend Cameron Diaz. But in Edison, the former 'N Syncer's feature acting debut, which closes the Toronto International Film Festival this month, he plays a cub reporter who seeks mentorship from a photojournalist, albeit one of a different stripe.

LANCE ARMSTRONG and PRESIDENT BUSH have a lot in common. Both are Texans and avid cyclists with at least a casual interest in politics. The seven-time Tour de France winner and the leader of the free world shared the trail last weekend at Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. White House press secretary Trent Duffy wouldn't say whether the pair discussed politics (Armstrong opposes the Iraq war and wants more spending on cancer research), but at the end of a two-hour, 17-mile spin, Bush gave Armstrong, whom he described as "a good rider," a T shirt...
