...your columnist Michelle Slatalla was joking when she wrote about needing to talk with her 58-year-old mother about going into a nursing home [PERSONAL TIME: YOUR FAMILY, June 5].

In a crackdown authorities are calling the largest in U.S. history, 120 people, including alleged members and intimates of New York's five major organized crime families, were charged Wednesday with securities fraud. The defendants are said to have defrauded investors out of at least $50 million over five years, often using the Internet to hype falsified and/or inflated stocks.
