Then, his mother says, Nick "bottomed out and became suicidal, and one day I found him in a closet with a toy gun pointed at his head, and he said, 'If this was real, I'd use it.'"

But an avid public savored details confirming suspicions of corruption and private profiteering that have swirled around the Suhartos for decades. On Friday, protesters demanding...
This sordid tabloid riddle went mainstream last week when Curry, who is black, slapped Morgan Stanley with a Wall Street-size $1.35 billion lawsuit. The complaint charges that co-workers at the investment bank subjected Curry to racial harassment and discrimination during the nine months he was employed there.
