...most quarters. There's been one for Microsoft, Netscape and Cisco Systems. Strong candidates this quarter are Dell and Compaq. How do you get the whisper? You don't. Only elite investors get their lobes tickled. The rest of us get the kind of ear nuzzle that Mike Tyson put on Evander Holyfield...
...Mike Tyson, who may have earned $140 million since he got out of prison two years ago, spent his 31st birthday begging.

Holyfield spent time last week in Atlanta being treated finally with the respect he keeps earning but never quite gets. "I would like to help Tyson," he told TIME.

After calling this the "most trying time in Nevada boxing history," chairman Elias Ghanem and the rest of the commission hit Mike Tyson as hard as it could, revoking his license and assessing a $3 million fine plus the legal costs of the commission.
