...financial pyramids what Ivan Boesky's is to insider trading. Before his "dare to be great" marketing schemes earned him a seven-year jail sentence for fraud in 1987, Turner had built a $3.5 million Cinderella-like castle near Orlando and set his theme song to the tune of the Mickey Mouse Club anthem ("Now's the time to say goodbye to all our poverty. M-A-K . . . I-N-G . . . M-O-N-E-Y"). While Turner sits in prison, one of his disciples, best-selling author Givens, is prospering in Orlando. Givens bought a lakefront spread outside...

"Daddy's Home" followed, featuring Toby Blackwell and Kenya Thompson in a rich, mellow duet...
...dates or percentage goals for the reduction of CO2 emissions. Such steps, which have been taken by most European nations, are firmly opposed by the Administration. Moreover, the U.S. has already adopted some of the other measures that the report urges, including investing in global climate research (to the tune of $1 billion) and planting millions of trees that can become storehouses for CO2. Though Bush undertook those actions for other reasons, they double as defenses against global warming. The panel also used a cost-benefit analysis that takes into account the price of implementing its recommendations, an approach that...
