...years divorced in the midst of her battle with liver cancer. "The sooner we forget George Roche, the better off we'll be," says Stephanie Gast, 21, a senior from New Jersey. Just five months later, Roche married another woman. "He's made this school and the whole conservative movement laughable," said history senior Chris Ratliff, 20. The accusations have proved equally troubling to at least one of the conservatives who rushed to Hillsdale's defense.

What headline writers call "merger madness" is also breaking out among relatively pint-size companies, which seal new relationships in the cafeteria and celebrate with interpersonal mingling that can involve the whole staff. These not-so-big deals sometimes seem to occur in a business world altogether different from the one inhabited by the megabillion-bucks monsters. Witness the just completed merger of Personify and Anubis, two California e-commerce companies...
