...took yet another case to the office of New York attorney general Eliot Spitzer, who was in the midst of a spree of high-profile fraud prosecutions. Spitzer's experts contacted the FBI, and after Minkow agreed to wear a wire and record phone conversations with the purported scam artists as they solicited new money, the agency verified that the suspects were using an offshore shell company to bilk hundreds of millions of dollars from investors by pledging annual profits of more than 38% and an eight-year rate of return in excess of 1,000%.

...These specs of grime are perfect gathering places for the CO2 molecules. (Champagne, concedes Liger-Belair, is "a symbol full of contradictions.") He does, however, offer a science-based tip for tipplers: Don't eat peanuts or wear lipstick. The fat molecules in greasy snacks and lip glosses stretch and break the bubble walls, taking the fizz out of the entire experience. And while you may get no kick from knowing that champagne bubbles are caused by dirt in your flute, it's great trivia for pepping up dull party chitchat. Just don't tell your host...
